VL Haamuolento prototype

Nice! Like the name too 

Thanks, wanted to call it Revenant but couldnīt find the finnish word for it

It is an understandable word. I see a couple of issues, as a VL name, though:
- it is understandable but not really a word that people would ordinarily use
- VL mainly used names that referred to natural phenomena. In WW2 times primarily different types of winds.

If you want something like "ghost", a person who came back from dead to haunt people, you could call it "haamu", "aave", or "kummitus"

I am aware that VL usually named its projects after winds but I wanted to emphasize that this was something returned from the dead (in this case the IK-3).
Since I donīt speak finnish I used online traslators both from english and swedish to get a suitable name and all answers I got when I did a reverse translation was the generic "ghost".
I expected that more of swedish folklore had its twin in Finland such as gengångare (revenant), vålnad (wraith) and myling (nothing synonymous in english) but all translated into the words for ghost that you mentioned however one of the online translators suggested adding lento to emphasize it is something returning from the dead
