"Raven" comes back to life - project launches - part 1
There is a rumor in the aviation world that is quite a sensation for avionics enthusiasts. What's more, it is true. At the TZL Aviation Workshop, Henryk Wicki and his colleagues are restoring the PZL 106 "Raven" aircraft to its state of splendor. If it succeeds, and everything points to it, it will be the only one in Poland and one of two in Europe flying copies of this machine. "Kruk" is not a design from the distant past.
