Wilga 2000 - C-GRJK for sale

Currently shown for sale in Canada is PZL Okecie Wilga 2000 C-GRJK - there are some great photos of this aircraft operating in the rugged wilderness of Canada, on floats and with very large tundra tyres.



C-GRJK is c/n 00010014 and originally test flew as SP-WDR in June 2001  - it was exhibited at the Paris Air Show that same month painted in a red colour scheme. In early 2002 this Wilga 2000 was sold to the USA and became N214AL based in New Mexico - however in July 2003 it had an accident ending up going through a fence.

The damaged aircraft was rebuilt in Canada and ready to fly again by summer 2004 registered as C-GRJK.

See the link below for more details and to see the photos of C-GRJK operating in Canada.
