Title: IL-2 first flight in USA
Post by: Widewing on August 09, 2012, 09:25:17 PM: From Chris Fahey today: Great news everyone! At about 2 pm today, Steve Hinton flew the Flying Heritage Collection's Il-2 for the first time. It's the first time a Shturmovik has been flown, ever, in the US!

It's really the first, ever? That would be most impressive!

Its supposed to be that way. Ever been in Russian brand new car? It looks like med evil torturing devise, but it runs. The only thing Russians are good at is building death tools, trust me, I'm Russian:)
P.S. There are also extremely hot women.
