Yak-52, 1974
Now worldwide famous, its production started in 1978, to be rapidly transferred for political reasons to Bacau, Roumania. It went to a halt in 1992 after 1677 aircraft produced, and is being sporadically revived thanks to private orders. Designed to replace the Yak-18A as initial military trainer, the Yak-52 has become the main aircraft for aerobatic training even with the National team, before the arrival of high-end Su-29 and Yak-54. Being of solid design and easy to fly, the Yak-52 combines unmistakable WWII looks with noticeable aerobatic performances, necessary ingredients to a real fun flying.
