La-9

And…

My flying ones aren’t as good as other peoples shots, but I like the details of these machines. It is NOT a coal fired aircraft – that’s the B52.

OK,
I promised some more. Hope they are enjoyed.

Can I play too?? 😀

This really is a fantastic aeroplane and it saddens me to think I might never see it again……

No Worries mate. I’ll dig some more piccies out after lunch and post them.

Cheers:D

beautiful pics, thanks JDK !!!:)

And another. Much more interesting than a P-51, if only for it’s rarety…

Here’s another shot of our current fave.

be a close run thing that one,i can’t afford either:D

Trouble is both the women and Lilttle Miss La9 are impossible to resist

Which would be cheaper to run ???:D

If the La-9 was a woman, she’d be the sort you’d look at and really admire,…but stay well clear,,,,,:D

[B]yeah, but could you call the I-16 elegant ???
Purposeful, mean, stubby, and aggressive,…perhaps…

Mean and stubby like a pit bull terrier of an aircraft.

I promise, I promise, I promise to get some great pics !!:)

That closeup of the spinner is a good one, JDK

Grrrr….

Sorry about the size of the pictures they would not post at any other size.

Another pic

Course sterling goes futher in buying stuff once you are out there…

another pic

not as great as some pictures posted here hope you like though.

Well until the next decade, when the TFC La-11 takes to the air…….:rolleyes:

Actually, after seeing OFMC’s La-9 in the air last year, I would have put money on Stephen Grey moving the TFC La-11 restoration to the top of the ‘projects-to-do’ list……just the kind of hot-rod he’d enjoy flying……:D

How long did it take to restore the La-9…….;)

Please stop torturing us mere mortals who, by the looks of things, won’t get to see this beast without using up suitable amounts of hard-earned green getting to New Zealand!!! 🙁
