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...
