Do you mean a Yak-2? They were nearly all destroyed in the opening days of Barbarossa so it'd be pretty obscure.

It looks like IL-2s were trialed with skis so it could be a thing. I don't think the I-16 Type 24 was ever fitted with skis but my information could be incorrect on that.

The skis were largely a detriment to performance and outweighed any advantage they had in airfield operations. Sounds like they ditched them pretty soon after they were introduced. The ones we have in game are fascinating to fly given how poorly the aircraft that have them fitted suffer.
