Jack Schultz, former F-14 test pilot, was at the controls when the right landing gear failed on landing. He managed to get the YAK airborne, where I joined him in chase in the L-39.

Douglas A-20 Retrieved From Bottom of the Baltic Sea · WarbirdsNews | A Polish salvage crew has
recovered the substantial, but battered remains of a rare Douglas A-20 Havoc medium bomber from the bottom of the Baltic Sea in the last few days. Just a dozen or so substantially complete examples remain in preservation, along with a few hulks. It is likely that the aircraft is one of many hundreds supplied by the USA to the Soviet Union under Lend Lease during WWII. So far the wreck is unidentified though. While it is always possible that a detailed researcher may one day be able to determine her serial number, either through examining crash records, or possibly finding a data plate on the airframe or engines that tallies with a known example, it is likely she will always remain anonymous...Air and Space Museum to remain open as exterior revitalized · General Aviation News | The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum is preparing for a multiyear revitalization of the museum’s exterior and mechanical systems, anticipated to begin in 2017.
