RWD 5 bis replica
This plane is a replica of RWD 5 bis.
On this kind of plane Polish pilot Stanislaw Skarzynski made a flight across Atlantic Ocean.
He departed from Saint Louis (Senegal) on 8 May 1933 and landed in Maceio (Brazil) 20 hours and 30 minutes later, reaching the amazing flown distance 3582 km.
It's still the longest flight ever made, using this class of light planes (with an unladen weight below 450 kg)
