Re: Yak-9P

Unfortunately I do not know those things. The Il-2 is planned for partial restoration, most likely in 2009. Fixing external damages, repainting, sealing, etc. Not a major restoration, but for sure will make it look better and not deteriorate further at least for a decade. A group of local enthusiasts does it with their own money and hands, here is their work on a Mig-17 in the Museum. For sure the work on the Il-2 is much more, but will be done, too! They plan to restore first a couple of Yak-23 and a few more birds and then will come the turn of the Il-2.
