Second Il-2 Shturmovik flies in Russia

The FHCAM's Il-2 is no longer the only flying example! A second, also with an Allison up front (but configured to run the other way like the Mikulin-powered originals) has flown at Novosibirsk. It's joining Vadim Zadorozhny's Moscow-based Wings Of Victory collection and will display at the MAKS-2017 airshow next month.

Great news for fans of Great Patriotic War types!

EDIT: mods, could you please merge this with Dave H's newer thread?
