https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/yak-53-airplane.590216/#post-146344543 Posted this earlier. Buddy is selling a Yak 53. Apparently they only made one. Beyond that and the mentioned prop, whoever’s interested will have to reach out to him as I’m not an aviator, just lending a hand. He also has a Yak 18P and a 52. I think he’d sell those too. Very cool guy btw, flew F15’s in the Service, various trainers, Draken etc
I honestly don't know the story of his acquisition, but I have to head down there within the month, and will do my best to take some photos and get the whole background on his planes. He has a serious collection addiction lol, must have $500K of Lionel trains, just stashed in his hanger.
Wondered what a Yak-53 looked like. Interesting that the gear retracts against a stop on the wing, with no wheel wells. Image Unavailable, Please Login
