Lisunov Li-2T HA-LIX Malev (Gold Timer Foundation) | ILA Berlin 2014

One of the few flyable Lisunov 2 in the world on static display during ILA (Internationale Luft-und Raumfahrtausstellung) Berlin 2014. Named after Theodore von Kármán (Kármán Tódor in Hungarian), a famous mathematician, aerospace engineer and physicist. It is funny how he is now famous in Hungary, despite the fact that as a Hungarian Jew he was forced to flee the Holocaust (enforced by Admiral Horthy), went to America and did his work there. But enough politics, let's just enjoy a flying soviet DC-3 copy.
