The little Stuka certainly must be considered one of the best replicas ever built. Not only because it looks pretty authentic but also because it has been around long enough to be classified a vintage aircraft in its own right! A real credit to the designer(s)/builder(s) if you ask me. Thanks for sharing the pictures as always Bill.

PS - Totally off topic but do you have any idea when the A-20 will go on display at Pima?

I always enjoy seeing pictures of a Langhurst Stuka, especially if they're new to me like these. Thanks Bill!

Thanks Bill! I visited your Flickr albums the other day and spent a good while cruising through your photos, old and new. Thanks for making them accessible. A great insight into the US scene for someone too young, and on the wrong side of the Pacific, to have experienced it.

I just posted on my Flickr site, the 10 Tora Tora Tora aircraft that attended WOH 1997
