Yes it is.  I had the good fortune to ride in one at Duxford some years ago.  That cockpit is tiny!

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Easy one there!
#7 is a Beriev Bartini VVA 14 Reg: CCCP-19172
