These photos are from the public debut last Saturday of the Flying
Heritage Collection's Il-2M3 - the only flying example of the
Sturmovik in the world. It is powered by an Allison V1710 from a
P-38.

It flew with the FHC's P-47D.

Excellent photos. This is not something one sees every day.


Thanks! The plan is for FHC to fly it again on Sept 29th. Hoping to
be there...


One question is it a real restoration or a reproduction?
