Summary

[edit]
Description

c/n unknown Previously marked as ’01 red’ NATO codename:- Fantail After its success with piston-engined fighters such as the La-7, Lavochkin also tried its hand at jet powered fighters. The resulting La-15 was very similar in layout and performance to the rival MiG-15 and had some technical advantages, but was more complicated and expensive to produce. The MiG-15 was chosen instead and only 235 La-15s were built. After many years exposed to the elements, this sole surviving example is now on display in Hangar 8 (the original large hangar) at the Central Air Force museum, Monino, Moscow Oblast, Russia.
