Identification of Soviet Aircraft

It's from the movie Ghost Busters

 

[Pisis]

Ah, and which ghost was it?

 

[Nonskimmer]

It's hard to explain. I recommend you rent the DVD. It's not a bad comedy.

Zuhl is not a ghost, but an ancient God from Babylonian times....

 

[Pisis]

I know the film Ghost Busters - well, not a bad one, also not a good one for me - but a true old school.

les, do you have any pics of this god? I mean, when I was in Louvre, France, they have such cool statues there, some also form that ancient times - with beards, wings and typical eyes.
