From another forum.  I didn't know there was an actual flying Sturmovik survivor on the warbird circuit.

Most built plane of WW2, I'm not surprised, despite all the chaos of post war - Cold War Russia.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Very nice on this 70th anniversary of the battle for Moscow (hope my math is right, fall 1941).
Easy in-game again.

I had heard that FHC had some wrecks that were being constructed overseas.  Not sure if that is still the case or not.
