Such a shame that a Finnish diver found the world's only B-239 in a lake, then russian business man somehow stole it and then it was sold to US.
I am pretty sure that it won't have the finnish paintings on in a few years, they restaurated it in Tikkakoski, Finland and it is looking as it was when it was shot down+ old paints are still on (Basicly cleaned up and rebuilt it)
Yeah, i saw it in Tikkakoski aircraft museum one or two years ago. It wasnt looking like totally new, and it looked like it had made a emergency landing to ground. But its good that we have at least one in "good" condition. I have a picture about that Brewster in my mobile phone :mrgreen: But the most interesting plane in Tikkakoski was MiG-21. I remember there was a MiG cockpit ( dont remember which MiG´s cockpit it was) and i sat there :OO . It was full of switches and gauges. That made me respect more those pilots who flew those planes. I pressed every switch, good that it was only cockpit, not the whole aircraft :mrgreen: . What could have happened if it had started :OO. Ohh and there was Gnat also. My favourite WW2 plane is He 162 if we count that, but my favourite prop plane is P-63C-5 Kingcobra, cause it were the first planes i played in Pacific Fighters, which was my first IL-2 game
