Thank you for staying with me here! It's good to be back.

Really enjoyed this one, the first gen of jets is always an interesting look.

Thomas Powell

Soviet fighters always have such interesting aesthetics. Welcome back!

What movie(s) is the footage you've used for the Kurchevsky story and here the jet fighter design bit. Looks fascinating to have a movie about aircraft development.

I put the name of the movie at the very beginning on 03:29 (bottom corner). It is "They Conquer the Skies" which describes the development of the MiG-9, though, not in a historical but "Soviet way", if you know what I mean. Great thing is that, they have restored one MiG-9 for shooting the movie, there wasn't a single MiG-9 left in the USSR by that time. Now that MiG-9 is in the museum.

Ah the one at Monino? I saw it a few years ago, albeit it was under deep restoration at the time. I think it's a good looking aeroplane if useless lol.
