The Romanian Air Club currently operates only five remaining PZL-104 Wilgas.
PZL has built the 104 model into several versions, such as
  • PZL-104 Wilga
  • PZL-104 Wilga-35
  • PZL-104 Wilga-35A
  • PZL-104 Wilga-38
    ...and others, but those are the ones I have seen in active service within the Romanian Air Club. PZL-104 has its wings mounted above the fuselage, and is a monoplane built out of waved tin plate (and flight mechanics ;) hahaha).
