like a big grasshopper :) nice plane.
Wonderful capture and great persective !!!
A gorgeous shot of the old work horse. I am amazed this was not produced in large numbers post war. I am glad they could shoehorn a Lycoming in there so now we just need to take it apart and blue print it and get somebody to make some.
I think this aircraft would have been useful to Air American in Vietnam. One of the first things I thought about after I saw all those window panels allowing this fantastic visibility was that I wouldn't mind having one of those!
Wonderful plane capture my friend.
She have a better look like that my friend .Just beautiful thoses planes ((5++))
A great capture of this extraordinary aircraft Sig.
Very cool looking aircraft
GREAT SHOT
Great shot.... looks to be a nice resto.. the original SSTOL airplane!
An excellent image of this plane and a great study of light and shade.
It has a sort of cartoon face, doesn't it? I can imagine it talking in a children's movie. Stanley Storch, or whatever. Not very menacing, but still, I can't help but see it! LOL!
Superb capture my friend. God Bless.
Very good photo! It makes me think of the day I ran into a plane and cut my eye open...
Very nice capture!!!
very neat.
Nice shot! I have seen one of these before, but only once.
Shining shot.
Interesting capture.
Well Sig mate! The good news is, on checking, this great looking aircraft looks for sure like an original model and not a Post War model.. It has an Argus engine (German), French were not.. As you say, they6 were very good at their job, and the RAF did use them when they got hold of one.. Monty had one as his Personal Aircraft!! As did Rommel of course.. They could take of in a far shorter length than any allied aircraft.. (look at those wing slats!), and land in a staggeringly short one as well.. (look up The Mussolini Rescue, from a mountaintop Hotel.. Enough now, just a fine shot! More please.. Rob
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did Rob, after Bill mentioned the rescue!
Superb.
superb pov and the Storch was widely used during World War II by German military forces for reconnaissance, liaison and aeromedical transport I was partially correct about it's purpose "reconnaissance". I have little are no knowledge of German aircraft except for the Luftwaffe being very good pilots
nice plane. Great POV !
fantastic shot and POV!!
Fantastic image! :)
Awesome plane!!!!
Toller Brechreiz-Flieger!
