YAK 52
The Yak 52, VH-YYA, is a 1991 model built for the Russian Air Force, making it one of the newest Yaks in Australia. Due to the collapse of the Soviet Union this aircraft was placed in storage until 1997 when it was imported to Australia.
The aircraft carries its original military colour scheme and our Yak 52 is complete with the original Russian instrumentation and avionics. It has a powerful 360hp supercharged 9 cylinder radial engine and the aircraft is stressed to +7/-5 G.
It is capable of extreme aerobatics but also makes the perfect aircraft for cruising around with the canopy open to have a leisurely look at the amazing scenery in the Byron Bay area.
The aircraft is fitted with a smoke generator which uses vegetable oil to produce a high visibility white smoke trail for your friends to keep track of your flight path as you carve up the sky.
