The plane deserves to be restored and preserved rather than just be left out and go into rust imho
poor thing :'(
The second Lun, known as Spasatel, is not being finished or refurbished. It is in a "protected" condition for storage. According to the Alexeev Bureau, it can still be finished and used for different purposes, but it can't take too long to happen, because in some years it will deteriorate beyong a safe margin to be refurbished. Alexeev can't afford to finish it alone, it would be necessary investors to complete the work. There are also ideas to assemble it and put in a museum display.I suppose it would have been posted already but do any of the native Russian speakers on the forum (or adjacent to the Russian milhist blogosphere) have any further deets on the Rescuer? Was it just a one off by a Russian Tyler Rogoway/Kyle Mizokami type pseudo-journalist or is it actually getting refurbished and finished?
