The Lysander actually carried a third pass behind #2 prone on the floor facing aft to operate "bomb doors" through which bomblets could be dropped or,more often, a camera could be operated. On early variants, one wheel pant housed a .303 cal gun. If I could find one I'd sell the Wilga in a heartbeat.See you in Batavia.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-77617701261174256162014-09-11T12:15:45.326-04:002014-09-11T12:15:45.326-04:00Thanks for posting the pics of my Wilga.

As a fellow frequenter of a field with many vintage aircraft, I certainly appreciate that kind of show.<br /><br />If you're ever free on a Labor Day Weekend, you guys should head down this direction for Stewart's annual airshow!Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130510691724323456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-4213246247145464612014-07-13T21:14:13.580-04:002014-07-13T21:14:13.580-04:00The 1979 Warrior has treated me well for the last ...The 1979 Warrior has treated me well for the last 10 years.

The rest of us simply had to live vicariously through the photos posted on Facebook by the National Warplane Museum.<br /><br />Geneseo is not the biggest or best airshow out there, but there are usually some cool things to see. The airplanes brought me in, but the community and grass-roots feel of the place are what always bring me back.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846593737518887287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910924549702235794.post-18543076301927794962014-07-13T18:11:58.162-04:002014-07-13T18:11:58.162-04:00I was supposed to be there this weekend but a fami...I was supposed to be there this weekend but a family event was on this weekend. My Teammates from the All Veteran Parachute Team are there this weekend. I had the honor of jumping from W7 in France in June for the DDay Anniversary. Great post, so many amazing airplanes.
