Firebar

Lange, Estonia view map

This Yak-28P was on display at the Estonian Aviation Museum near Tartu. This Soviet built aircraft was given the codename 'Firebar' by NATO. The type never saw service with the eastern European countries so us western enthusiasts find them less easy to find. I think the only other example I've seen was a few days earlier in a Latvian museum!

In my younger days, most of photography was aviation related and so I'm using this as my "wildcard" in the May challenge.

What a great trip you are having - trains, planes next come the automobiles perhaps?
