A few months after 9/11, a co-worker went to Vermont to pick up his reconditioned Russian Yak-52. Newly rebuilt with glorious Soviet war paint.

He was still trying to figure out how the radio work when he approached DC. He knew to stay away from the district but had wandered over some other no-fly zone in the process.

A shadow fell over him and he looked up to see the underbelly of an A-10 Warthog, another was postitioned beneath him.

He finally found the right freq and made haste out of the no fly zone.

not my friend's bird, but the same model

Gorgeous! The Yak email list has a guy whose tagline is: "Lousy politics, great planes!"
