This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

The two seat Yak-3M F-AZZV was bent on landing at Dijon, France. Looks like it over shot and ripped out the gear and gearbox/prop. All involved OK....

Glad to hear everyone is okay....
...hmmmm Dijon.
This looks like a dual control Yak 3. I could see the Collings Foundation operating one of these on the tour.

Can you really see many people parting with a substantial number of $$$ to ride in something without a Star & Bar on it?

Well I would.. but thats me. Since she has an Allison, Im assuming the operating cost would be substantially less, therefore the cost of a ride less. Henceforth she becomes the cheapest ride on the tour. Not a bad thing.
Personally I'd like to see Collings acquire one TF dual control fighter of each major country from WWII. Essentially creating their own Axis & Allies Fighter Squadron. "Now for the first time in history, take control of your favorite WWII fighter from six different countries!"
Focke Wulf FW-190 S-5
North American TP-51C
Supermarine Mk. IX
Mitsubishi A6M3-22
Fiat G.59
Yakovlev Yak-3M
Your telling me that wouldn't be a great selling point?
