Notes:

At the Jamestown Fly-In & Air Spectacular 2006. This Bird Dog was brought in Australia in 1989 from Vietnam. The restoration of the aircraft to its current condition started in 1992 and took 9 years, and what a great job was done!

The view from behind emphasises the somewhat odd inward-sloping cockpit design of the Bird Dog, obviously intended to give better downward visibility
