Hey OB,
That reminds me .... you may know this, but in case you don't - check out www.avsim.ru. you can toggle to English, and search for some amazing Eastern European (and soviet-era in particular) sceneries. I will say with a few exceptions, I have never seen sceneries like Russian flightsim modellers do. The grass and tarmac renderings in particular, are steller. Search for scenery packages including Koltsovo (ICAO USSS), Novobirsk (UNCC), and Vorkuta (UUYW). Those are my personal favourites - a great place to fly a Tupolev, Antonov, or a Kamov and grab a vodka - preferably not at the same time.
Being as you've recently been into the Wilga and all ... :friday:

Goodness! That site is addictive.. Just lost an hour parusing only 1/4 of it.. Some brilliant birds.
I like that Me-109 mini replica near the end, like page 52 or something. Even has retractable landing gear.
I see Mike CYUL's Me-262 is getting around to airshows alot over there. Nice looking bird..
Thanks OleBoy for the heads up on that! Great one. Bookmarked!
EDIT: That russian new Mig with retractable (folding) wings and elevators! Brilliant! I didnt know they could do that. The wings stow away the height of the rudders.
