One
of the most unique aircraft ever produced, the
Fiesler Fi-156 Storch was an aircraft built for
a specific task. Able to take off and land in
literally twice its own length, it was perfect
for forward air observation on battlefields and
air ambulance work. Flying for the German Luftwaffe
in WWII, it saw service on all fronts.
The
Fi-156 Storch flown by the Collings Foundation
is based in Stow, MA and flies regularly. It can
be seen at regional events and always attracts
attention when it flies. Expect to watch it fly at our Fall open house in Stow, MA.
