Although the avia-n-aero site is currently being messed with by a hacker, some of the pages or images are unaffected. I happened to have this one still on my address bar:
http://www.avia-n-aero.ru/coa/_files/photogallery/741244AEBCEA94DF5.jpgIt shows an I-16 type 28 with an interesting lightning flash marking on the fin, and the number 15 on the rudder. There is another image of this aircraft elsewhere among the photos as well, and some of an I-16, or several I-16's (also type 28), without a number, but with the same fin marking. There's even one somewhere in there in *colour*! I wonder if this was a marking unique to a particular squadron, since it appears that it was carried by more than one aircraft? It would make a great subject for the ICM 1/72 type 28!
I hope the site will be cleaned up soon, and maybe then I can post more information. Very annoying!!!?
For what it's worth, I submitted the site URL to McAfee for analysis.
