This is a picture of another piece of the avionic history: the PH-YAK - Yakovlev Yak-52 airplane, captured by me in August 2017 in the air near Zeeland Airport, The Netherlands.

Although since the 70's of the past century, the fighter jets became more important rather than prop driven (piston) engine airplanes, the initial training given to pilots was still given mostly by 'piston engine' airplanes. In the former Soviet Union was this the Yak-52. This impressive aircraft is ideal for aerobatics, and the roaring engine sound of its 360HP engine can only be described as spectacular. After the fall of the Soviet Union it was exported to the west and is owned now by a Dutch flying group

Prop planes have a character about them...a mechanical marvel, from the person who thought up the idea!

The picture is another marvel from the person who snapped it too! :)

You always hit the bullseye with your "Up In The Air" shots SEA. You are definitely an Ace with the camera.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I agree with all about the clarity of this wonderful shot Mr. C. - I feel like I should be able to hear the roar of the engine.

I would have liked to been there, don't go to airshows as much as I should mainly because you have to park miles away and fight the crowds. Very nice capture of this Ruskie plane.

Your 'People in the Air' series are always of excellent quality...as if these planes have actually stopped to pose for you...great work, SEA.

I was studying the photo before reading your post and the red star on the tail was a Soviet giveaway. I was driving around today with my window down a few inches--it was a toasty 34 degrees outside--and there was a substantial breeze coming through the window at my 30 mph. I notice the pilot has his window cracked... at his speed I wonder what tornadic winds are blowing through his cockpit. Another great shot, C. A keeper.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
