Oh man, that Storch
I'm a sucker for the oddball warbirds.
Fun fact, the final aerial engagement of the western front in WWII was between an L-4 Grasshopper and a Storch, with the American pilot and observer bringing it down firing out the door with their 1911s. They landed hits on the windshield, fuel tanks and right wing and the Storch put a wing into the dirt attempting to maneuver away down low and crashed. They landed nearby and captured the German aircrew.
We had one put on a STOL show for Wings over Houston this year
