Manufactured in Poland, by EADS PZL, the PZL-104MA WILGA made its first public appearance at the EAA Airventure in Oshkosh on July 24th to 30th, 2006. The new aircraft generated an incredible interest and enthusiasm among EAA visitors from around the world. These visitors used terms such as "amazing" and "cool" to describe the aircraft.

Others nicknamed the new plane the "WILGA-Beast" after its commanding entry into the bush plane market. As a result, several customers placed firm or initial orders for the new WILGA.

Among other meetings, we had an opportunity to meet with Mr. Paul Poberezny of EAA and had a nice visit discussing our Slavic roots.

Also at Oshkosh, in a brief ceremony, Mr. John Colomy of the FAA Certification Office, officially handed over the new FAA Type Certificate to Mr. Ziggy Wasiucionek, EADS PZL Marketing Director.

According to Mr. Jim Webb, WILGA dealer, the participation of the Polish aircraft in the EAA Airventure was a huge success for its initial promotion into the American market
