Legión Cóndor Fieseler Fi-156 Storch firsts flights June 2013

Thanks Michael, I am sure it will be well appreciated in Spain-perhaps with the FIO

just seem to float in to the sky

……but you should see one flying into a decent head wind – then they can go backwards with full flaps. Who needs a Harrier!

Didn’t the example that the IWM shamefully divested themselves of end up with Bende?

Two additional links to pics of the Spanish one, one with D. Bende´s own one at Bonn-Hangelar:

P.S: Found another pic, scroll down to # 115, same procedure as explained in the link to flugzeugforum in my first post:

Seems it will leaving Germany, as a long ? (how far he does not say) journey is mentioned by the photographer.

Which aircraft is this?

TIA

Hi Dave,
this Storch was restored by Dirk Bende. I have no information if it was a contracted restoration, or if it is for sale. There are only few pics I have seen so far. Have a look here:

http://www.flugzeugforum.de/neues-edtg-bremgarten-50545-135.html , scroll down to post #1344. (You have to log in to be able to see the pics, posts can be read without logging in, though in German.

Registration is D-EXUB, though it might be temporarily only, if for a foreign customer. But I have no information this or that way. Best would be to ask Dirk Bende, if he is willing or able to talk. Some customers won´t allow contractors to provide any substantial information. 🙂
First flight took place at Bonn-Hangelar, where Bende´s own Storch (D-EVDB) is hangared. (His shop is in the vicinity).

P.S.: I always loved (and do love!) the sound of the Argus As 10 (c) engines, something completely different to the Lycomings and Continentals you will hear everywhere nowadays…..

Great looking restoration! Congratulations to those involved! :eagerness:
