At Friday died I-16 pit consultant Mihael Lubimov.
 

I have to announce a very sad news, and it has a direct bearing on Friday's update. This Friday has died, Mikhail Lyubimov, russian aviation historian, a fan of I-16 and just a good man and my friend. He was a tech consultant for creation I-16 cockpit for the future IL2 COD addon. At the forum scalemodels.ru his nickname was MAL16.

Very sad news...I hope the best for his family and loved ones.

Hope he will fly is i-16 in the sky

How does this effect the friday update?

in no way

may he RIP.

hope we can all enjoy is effort soon.

My deepest condolences to his family and friends. Rest in peace!

How old was he and was it sudden?

My condolences.

Another sad loss...my condolences to the team, and Mikhail's family and friends.

I'm very sorry to hear of that. Condolences to his family and loved ones. I hope his work lives on in the BoM I-16 cockpit. Perhaps a small inscription could be added in his honour. A bit like the Maddox label on one of he levers in the Spitfire cockpit. He'd probably have liked that.

55, heart attack.

Condolencies :(

May he rest in peace.
