^^^ Luck :) BTW it resembles the Ikarus except for the front part. I added "Yugoslavian" seconds after your last post maybe that`s the nationality?

No, the picture was taken in Yugoslavia, but the student is a guest from Libya, where Galeb G-2A-L was exported :)

Never forget that World War III was not Cold for most of us.

It's hard to tell where the intakes are... CL-41®?

 

... nevermind, cockpit too far forward.

 

Last guess for the night....

 

I am thinking a concept testbed for the Sud-Est (aka SNCASE) SE5000/5003 Baroudeur

 

It was that low because it used a rocket sled to take off... the rails under the wing roots are the giveaway.

Yes... the I-16.

 

It's development survived during 2 Invasions (Soviet and German) and Stalin's purges.

:thumbup: Good they built it, looks like a nice plane. Without your clue that i was getting closer i probably would have passed to another manufacturer.

Ok the next one should be easy:

 

Which is the aircraft?
