Nah, that would be the Yak-15s ugly cousin the MiG-9. I tried finding a MiG-9 video, but they were all just crummy 1946 videos, that weren't very well done.

I have a general idea the neighborhood of it in BOP but turn rate varies quite a bit so it would be a great thing to know in precise kph. Or what's "corner speed" called in Русская авиация so I can hunt it down with google?
Don't know off hand, but I think the Yak-3 had a turning speed of around 10-12 seconds. And if you could, tell us what pieces you know from the videos. And what they're saying.
