WOW!

I wonder why no one has hauled it out of the forest to be restored?
Could be in a real remote location?
I half expected to see some bones or tatered uniform in the cockpit.
Or something jump out like in "Heavy Metal"...

Here is the link for the same video on YouTube. According to the one of the posts in the "Comments" section, the video was shot in the early 1990s and the airplane is currently being restored.

That would be like stumbling onto treasure!

Seems like there's been a few recent good finds in Russia, like one of only two P-40B's that are restored to flying condition.
