New Russian Warbird flying.

Convert it to black and white and could be footage from nearly 70 years ago!

Looks good though. Beautiful lines.

I am sure you can work out what it is.

That's Jerry Yagens MiG-3 at MAKS 2007 - now in Virginia, USA.

The new one is for a Russian customer.

Re: New Russian Warbird flying.

Beautiful lines indeed, and it confirms (to me) that the beauty of an aircraft only comes to light if she's in the open and best when flying. I didn't realize, although I've seen plenty of MiG-3 photo's etc, that it was such a nice plane.

Za Rodinu indeed!
