well

this was the FW-44J model – the export/license version of the FW-44D – the “High Back” mod seems to be a later addition / conversion, though….

See here

HTH !

Thanks a lot Martin! I am still amazed by that highback configuration. Any idea why they where built that way and was this a seperate type/model of the fw44!

Nice pics!

I will take out the Swiss AF FW-44 photos I have (an interned Luftwaffe kite, that was put into Swiss AF service and later was a glider-tug).

Hi

as for the Swiss Bückers:

A stands for “Ausbildung” = Training, i.e. Basic Training, Advanced Training, Aerobatics

U stands for “Umschulung” = Conversion Training, but also used for Advanced Training and Aerobatics

you may have noted the “RV” letters on the Bücker’s tails……

this stands for “Rückenvrille” = Inverted Spin; aircraft equipped with special carebuttors to the engines that allowed inverted manouvers were marked with the “RV”, i.e. these aircraft were cleared for this form of aerobatics.

and Stieglitz

here’s a Swedish beauty for you:

Question for SwissMustang.

Swiss Bucker were either seriallesd A-numeral or U-numeral.

Why?

If you take a closer look, you will notice that the A code is for the Jungmann’s and the U code for the Jungmeister’s. Maybe we should think in the lines of primary and advanced biplane training?

Swiss Mustangs,
That Stieglitz looks awsome!!! That is the first pic I see of a ‘highback’ Stieglitz (Shame on me!!! 😮 ) Was this variation only in use with the aiforce of argentina?

Also nice to see the SV4b of the former Belgian Air Force SV4 display team.

Franck 66,

I knew you enjoyed your ride in the Stieglitz and its great to see you have such nice pics to remember it! Also Nice Bucker pics as always! 🙂

If someone else has Bucker or Stieglitz pics, please post them! I love Biplanes!

Thanks guys.

How about these ?

😀 Martin 😀

We simply can’t get enough of it! I doubt that I got as many pics of Buckers, compared to you. But I couldn’t resist to add these two.

Thanks for all the nice Bucker pics F3Hadlow! 😉
