There were 11 Yak aircraft on the field at Wings Over Wairarapa:
On the display line were Graeme Frew's Yak 3 Full Noise ZK-VVS and in the background the 9 aircraft Yak 52 team. I noted that 7 of the 9 aircraft now have 3 bladed propellers and spinners.
According to the commentary the Yak team is the only one in the world to perform a 9 aircraft loop.
and arriving early for the NZ Aerobatic Championships was Steve Geard's Yak 55M ZK-YKV. The championships are being held at Hood from 27 February to 2 March.
Certainly the Red Arrows loop 9 Hawks...
ReplyDeleteThe commentary was that this was the only 9 ship Yak team to fly a loop. I wonder what is the maximum number of aircraft to do a formation loop?
