Bell P39Q Airacobra
This is a Bell P39Q Airacobra, a very much “unloved” fighter jet, which was left abandoned at the bottom of Lake Mark-Yavr in the Russian Arctic Circle and found in 2004. From the stories we have pulled up, we learned that the pilot had to do an emergency landing, and based on the position of the aircraft here…it is evident it didn’t go too well. Soviet pilots were not too fond of the Airacobra, probably because of its features, designs, or who knows what. But, from looking at this aircraft, we are left to wonder if there are any other interesting aircraft lying under a water body waiting for us to discover them.
