  2. Just a little bit of information about ZK-YIK someone may find interesting. It has an inscription "Монгольский Арат" on its fuselage, which translates as "Mongolian Arat Squadron". It was a Soviet fighter squadron during WWII, sponsored by Mongolian people. English wiki has a short article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongolian_Arat_squadron
