Title: Facebook find. Post by: barneybolac on November 27, 2022, 10:23:59 AM https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=846177856834674&set=gm.2541202246034489&idorvanity=2051970728290979
Two questions what kind of Yak is this and is that a dragons head nose art under the cockpit? It looks like a hand is grabbing the top of it's snout.

But what about that Gustav? Interesting camouflage, from what's visible. Title: Re: Facebook find.

For example, look at the plane partially hidden by the tail of this Yak-3; one would expect to see the landing gear under it, but I can see the ground only. There could be another reason, of course. It would be good to find the original one and a better scan of it.
