Finnish VL Viima

15-08-2017, 20:39

Hi,

This set is taken in Sein�joki International Airshow 10th of Jun.
The plane is Finnish design and manufacturing by State Aircraft Factory and is known as VL Viima (Viima means Gale in English). More info on the plane can be found e.g. in Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VL_Viima

Takeoff:

Looping:

Steady level flying:

And landing (which is sort of mandatory if takeoff happened):

This particular plane is owned by a British Phil Lawton (who we have adopted to live in Finland)

Thanks for looking!

What a lovely set of something new to me, it looks like the son of a Bucker Jungmeister / Tigermoth mix
