Go here, click on the image, then on the next page select aircraft photos, and start scrolling down:

In particular, there's a large number of La-7 images, including many of the canopy and a good one showing the gunsight.

Thanks John!
Real gold mine. Some pics are from valuable angles.
There are also some pics of ANT-25, Yak-9U, Tu-2 and other from nice angles and small distances Smiley
The best ones are for SB-2 (under ANT-40) !

In fact, here is a direct link to Monino pics:

Thanks again for this one.
Cheers!

that's actually an early production Yak-9P , not a Yak-9U.
however, your confusion is understandable as it features the wooden rear fuselage of the Yak-9U.
the first 29 or 30 were built this way and the remainder were all-metal.

Heh, thanks for your kind words. You are assuming that I know that much about Yak-9  Roll Eyes
Obviously, Yak's are your field. Thanks for explanation. I'll rename downloaded pics ASAP.

That La-7 looks fantastic! Why oh why can't one be restored to flying condition?! They must have the Ash-82 or equivalent engines. I wonder if there are some wrecks lying undiscovered that may provide parts...

Well, it's a Yak-3UPW (modified Yak-11), but it *looks* kind of like a La-7:

Aww, shame. It makes a gorgeous sound. I wonder what if a real La-5/La-7 sounded that way.

This is all the footage I have garnered from youtube but it is rather awesome:

But I reckon you've seen them already?

Yes, thanks, Dave; there's another thread somewhere where I posted those myself, but I figure the more they get posted, the more people will have the opportunity to enjoy them!

I see quite a few neat videos on YouTube from a guy called "SmiertSpionam", by the way...  Wink
