turboplanner Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 FT you've posted photos of two different Makes on the one thread. The media was giving detailed "Yak 18", the evening news says it flipped, so where does the Jab figure in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazza 38 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 The Gold Coast shotgun range is very close to Hecks Field. It is a pity the Yak 18 couldn't make it to Heck's. Lovely aircraft the Yak 18's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAFA Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 After start up at YCDR thus afternoon the pilot ran it for around 15-20 mins with occasional increases in power. There were some unusual engine sounds, but they could be normal sounds for the Russian engine. Photo attached of it on the ground, just after engine start today.
