upnorth Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 On June 24, I took a walk out to Medlánky airport here on Brno and got the pleasant surprise of seeing an Orličan L-60 Brigadýr. The Brigadýr is a Czech designed STOL utility type that dates to the early 1950s and was effecively the heir to the Fieseler Storch in Czech military service. This one is particularly rare as it's the only one of two examples left on the Czech register still powered by an original Walter M208 engine rather than an Ivchenko radial that many were refitted with in the 1970s. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Nice one: that's one from an old Observer's Book! I remember it well but have never seen one in the flesh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
