     If I remember correctly the pilot ditched the bird in a sapling stand so
the trees grew up around the plane hiding it.  Supposedly the only parts
missing from it when they discovered it in 89 were the nose mounted MG-17s.

     Makes sense, not like a partisan gonna try and lug around a 20mm  :airplane:
