Yak 9 video

Sun May 16, 2004 9:55 pm

Al forwarded me this video that is a must see of a Yak 9 pulling out to low from a loop. He just makes it then rolls the aircraft like nothing happened. Scary and awesome footage.

That's absolutely amazing! Did they find any paint missing after that one?

I'm surprised he was cool enough to do the roll so soon after the shake up. He was very lucky on that time.

I can't believe there hasn't been much talk around the community about that one. :shock:

Any idea where and who that was? Guys got brass ones!

How not to do a Loop!

Was there a ditch along the flight path of the Yak-9? Kind of looked like the video of the final flight of Harry Tope, R I P.

I believe this was from the Andrews AFB show this past weekend.

Glad to see you escaped the clutches of those rabid West Coast Hippies, Rob. I know you probably missed it, but Bill Greene did a piece on Dan McQue last night on the news. They had some good inflight footage both inside and out of his L-39.
