I think it was also planned to be called the Yak-242, but instead they rebranded to Yakovlev, probably means we won't get to see the Yak-242 though

My uni has two BAe 125s & theyre still referred to as "HS125" because their Maintenance Manual is literally from before Hawker Siddeley merged to form BAe

#

And i can tell that my classmates who arent avgeeks arent even aware that Hawker Siddeley as an airplane manufacturer is no more

the only reason why they dont let you use wikipedia as a source is because its a collection of information from many sources

#

I tried using sources Wikipedia used for a thesis, I had to read through the sources before quoting them

#

Because some statements simply did not have a citation or straight out not mentioned in the original material

The exterior is intact

#

the components inside is a gamble

#

some of the ones you're looking for is intact

#

some arent

#

welcome to A&P maintenance universities

#

at least the planes that get battered are retired airframes that arent meant to return to the skies anymore
