Re: Yak-9P

I think the markings are all wrong. After 1990 on many monument and museum aircraft the red star was replaced with the 3-color roundel. No matter of the bad feelings I have about the red stars, I think the aircraft must have the stars and nothing else, after all it was the official AF emblem when the aircraft flew.

The condition is not bad. With some work and care will shine like new. This is sad:

a shame what became of those old birds! Those two MIGs had the bad luck to be monuments in some wild villages /where some commie partisan or pilot was born, most likely/ and this is the result.
