Papana, registered YR-PAX - the personal mount of the famous Rumanian aerobat flyer. Below are a few scans of this colourful bird. In the original livery: (IMG:http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/8804/b131yrpax16zw.jpg) YR-PAX on its way to the USA in the belly of a Zeppelin: (IMG:http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/7129/b131yrpax25mp.jpg) A famous stunt of Papana, snatching a small US flag with his wingtip: (IMG:http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/2621/b131yrpax34wd.jpg) A curious mid-air shot of YR-PAX, wearing the swastika on its tail: (IMG:http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/7796/b131yrpax42ig.jpg) Gen.

A curious mid-air shot of YR-PAX, wearing the swastika on its tail:

Probable a "retouche" picture (german propaganda ?). The original "Bucker Jungmeister" signatures are missing.

I saw a picture showing this colours in a pre '89 era calendar; I believe it was the one with stories about Papana and "Draci Rosii" other info about romanian aviation. After the war, Papana's Bu-133 YR-PAX reached the possesion of Beverly 'Bevo' Howard and was renamed to N15696(from http://www.bevhoward.com/Buecker.htm and http://www.airandspacemagazine.com/ASM/Air.../GMAH/bevo.html ) This is the way that the Bu-133 looks now: (IMG:http://www.bevhoward.com/BuColor.jpg) I have also found these pictures: the famous acrobacy, from: http://www.larrylowe.com/wac/Origins.html (IMG:http://66.111.96.172/WAC/Art/Papana.jpg) and from Fortele Aeriene Romane Website (http://www.airforce.go.ro) (IMG:http://www.airforce.go.ro/Foto/Istorie/Ohio/papana.jpg) OFFTOPIC Note: "Dracii Rosii" = "Red Devils" , romanian acrobatics trio, flying ICAR - Universal (acrobat), team composed of Petre Ivanovici/Mihail Pantazi/Maximilian Manolescu. Does any of you know if is true that Bazu also flown his Bucker Bu-133 at airshows together with "Dracii Rosii"?
