I saw that on their FB page, great news!
The 190 can have some target practice

Yes it was in Aeroplane Monthly,which was out on 24 oct and it said in there that it was going to Flying Heritage Collection.It is a fantastic plane,wish we had one coming to England too.

This is excellent news and I hope to see the IL-2 in person some day. Not to bring down the mood but will this airplane need a total rebuild once it gets to the USA like so many of the Russian restorations seem to?

FHC Facebook page confirmed that the IL-2M will be flown during the FHC Fly Day's next summer.

Anyone know if an IL-2 has ever flown in the U.S. before?

An Ilyushin 10 was captured in Korea and test flown in the US. Put it storage for many years it was scapped at some point.
