The Culdrose Airshow, held August 1st, was a great opportunity for the team to show their stuff as a four-ship display. The boys took off for the event on July 31st, and came home late the next day after a full day of displaying.

The Yakovlevs have a busy display schedule this season, but the team was happy to receive this year’s invite down to Land’s End, at the Culdrose Navy base. After a lot of planning and prep for all four of the aircraft, the team was ready to take to the skies.

“Our four-ship display is great to do, despite all the hard work planning and preparing for the event,” said team leader Jez Hopkinson. “After flying a lot of two-ship displays, having all four of the Yaks up there is a great sight, even when you see them every day! We hope the crowds loved it too.”

Don’t miss the Yakovlevs display at upcoming events in locations such as Lydd, Silverstone, and Shoreham. Have a look on our Diary page to find more information.
