    Event

    Constructed as a Yak-9U.

    1992

    During a trip to Russia Doug Champlin learned of an original Yak-9.

    Art Williams was hired to find and acquire the airframe. Williams traveled to Novosibirsk, Siberia, and after consummating the acquisition, arranged for the Yak-9 to be transferred to Moscow via the Siberian railroad. The trip took four days under constant guard.

    Restored.
    Markings Applied: 36 white
    Once the Yak-9 was safely stored in Moscow, Sergei Kotov arranged for a restoration team to rebuild it. This work took two years to complete and was equipped with an original engine and propeller, and all instrumentation and other miscellaneous parts are of original Russian manufacture. It was finished in the markings of the Russian World War II ace, Gen Maesky.

    1996

    Transported by ship. Delivered to Champlin Fighter Museum, Falcon Field, Phoenix, AZ.
