Wed Oct 21, 2009 7:31 am
G'day all,
Given that Mike Olrog's Surviving Luftwaffe Aircraft website appears to be down*, who can help with listing the world's surviving Fieseler Fi 156 Störche out there?
MS 500 and 505 welcome too.
Pics even more welcome and even more welcomer is contact with anyone working on the things!
Thanks in advance,
*Anyone know more? Pity if we've lost it.

The Collings Foundation in Stow, MA is operating one. Here is a recent picture:
Kermit Weeks at Fantacy of Flight is also flying one on a regular basis.

Kermit has one at Fantasy of Flight, I have seen it flying, several years ago, standing nearly still into a stiff breeze! Got some pics somewhere, I will try to find.

Why thanks - that's the current link to Mikael's website. I'd followed two dead links for 'reputable' websites and given up.
Thanks for the good link.

The Collings example was donated in flyable condition. Before that they had one that needed restotation. Any idea what became of that one?

East Fortune's Museum of Flight has an MS.505, still fitted with its radial engine.
I seem to recall seeing a postcard of this one in flight somewhere - a long, long time ago!

One airworthy Storch in La Ferté Alais

The second Storch with CF was sold many years ago to Bob Wagstaff and taken to La Porte, TX. Not sure of its current status.
