On a windy day in Santa Barbara I watched what I think was a Fieseler Storch do touch and goes using virtually no runway. He’d lift straight up, get blown back a bit and land.

Was that event a long while past? There are not many Storches still airworthy. Have you ever seen Mike Patey’s DRACO? He stuffed a PT-6 into a WILGA 2000 and it could perform like that!

I'd never heard of that aircraft. The Wiki writeup on the Fieseler Fi 156 (Storch). Fascinating aircraft, especially for having been designed in 1935.
