Second was, the two most useless things in the world are altitude above you, and runway behind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevbeau Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Not to mention crazy. Stunt That's a Yak, isn't it? 654012[/snapback] Looks like a Yak...hard to tell. I believe the 55's are the most popular version and the 50's are pretty rare. 52's are trainers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Looks like a Yak...hard to tell. I believe the 55's are the most popular version and the 50's are pretty rare. 52's are trainers. 654030[/snapback] Looks like one...but the Yak-55 has a bubble canopy; the plane in the video doesn't (as far as I can tell - it's tough to be sure). The trailing edge of the wing looks a little off, too. Could be, though. At any rate, it handles like a Yak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
