X-Plane 11.50+ Henschel HS-126 2.0. The Henschel Hs 126 was a German two-seat reconnaissance and observation aircraft of World War II that was derived from the Henschel Hs 122. The pilot was seated in a protected cockpit under the parasol wing and the gunner in an open rear cockpit. The prototype aircraft frame was that of a Hs 122A fitted with a Junkers engine. The Hs 126 was well received for its good short takeoff and low-speed characteristics which were needed at the time. It was put into service for a few years, but was soon superseded by the general-purpose, STOL Fieseler Fi 156 Storch and the medium-range Focke-Wulf Fw 189 "flying eye". This aircraft is distributed as freeware. Do not modify, redistribute, or otherwise reproduce any of it without prior permission. Version 2.0 includes two new liveries (German Summer, German Africa (trop livery), plus new sounds and a ski version. By Jennifer Kimball (A-Pilot).
