Our Aircraft
Super Yak 52 and the Yak 50
The team flies the Russian aircraft made by the Yakovlevs design bureau. These reliable and robust aircraft were designed for training and world class aerobatic competitions. Leading the Yakovlevs is the world’s most powerful Yak 52, known as the Super 52. This unique two-seater aeroplane was specifically developed for the team.
