Yakovlev Yak-3U F-AZZK | Soest Flugtage 2016
Rick van der Graaf in his Yakovlev Yak-3U F-AZZK taking off at Soest on a beautiful evening. What a great looking WWII-era fighter! Although most Yak-3s had an inline liquid-cooled engine, the later Yak-3U variant had a Shvetsov ASh-82FN air-cooled radial engine. This is a new-build replica manufactured at Avioane Craiova in Romania, using Yak-3M/U blueprints and a Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin-Wasp air-cooled radial engine for reasons of availability. The propeller is a Hamilton-Standard 3 bladed design.
Special thanks to George Cordos for making it possible for me to attend this airshow.
