Default A Damn fine red



Just completed a spot of flying in this aircraft, a YAK-52 in a formation of 5 Yaks and Nanchangs for a DVD I'm making for the Tyabb Airshow.

We made many attacks on a beach on French Island and after about the fifth (bumping around in the prop wash of 4 other aircraft and trying to concentrate on looking through the viewfinder) I must admit I hauled the bag out just in case!

Managed to hold it in so you chaps can have an unsullied look at what a Yak formation is like from the air. There's a LOT of throttle juggling and the occasional break away to avoid a collision. Fun stuff!



Into the bomb run. You can just see No4 in the lower part of the frame.

More pics here.
