Young Eagle in a "Piggy"
Focke Wulf 149D near Germany's capitol, Berlin. In Germany, the Focke is generally called Piggy. (Phonetic: something like "Pitch-y.") I sold this one 25 years ago to a friend. He still is and flies it from a field near Berlin (EDAZ). This time, he gave his grandson Dario a ride as a Young Eagles flight on a nice early afternoon in November.
