Does anybody know what became of the Yak-9 that used to be on display at the Champlin Fighter Museum in Tempe, AZ? Also, are there any photos of that plane to be found on the web or anywhere else? When I saw it in Tempe, I remember reading on the placard that the Russians had restored and painted it in line with research into "authentic" colors. It'd be interesting to see what they did with the two-gray camo scheme. Thanks! Pip Moss

Well, I just realized it was Mesa, not Tempe, and I just found some pictures as well. I'm happy to see that the Champlin collection apparently lives on at the Museum of Flight in Seattle, so there I go, answering my own questions again.

There's an ex-wife for those times I feel the need for aggravation and humiliation. :)
