Golovachev’s Yak-9M is Temporarily Available for Golden Eagles!

This month’s Pages of History features ace pilot Pavel Golovachev. Having become famous for his aerial ramming over East Prussia, Golovachev left his trusty La-7 in a museum and in the last months of the war switched to a brand-new Yak-9M. He flew it in the skies over Berlin and shot down two Fw 190s in late April 1945.

Golovachev’s Yak-9M is temporarily available for Golden Eagles!

In honor of Golovachev, the premium Yak-9M is available for 1,780 Golden Eagles.

When: From April 4th (11:00 GMT) until April 7th (11:00 GMT).

Where: USSR > Aviation > Premium vehicles.
