Lowtax Spine Fund 2019
Ultra Carp
I ran into what I believe is a Yak-52 soviet-era trainer on the flight line a few weeks ago. I thought the guy in the little airport restaurant wearing a flightsuit was kind of a tool, but then he straps on a harness and climbs into this. My case of smug turned into envy pretty fast.



This thing absolutely belched black smoke when they started it up.

fake edit: Yep, it's a 52. Says so on the nose.

edit 2: probably manufactured in the nineties, just a neat paint job.

That was 11R, Brenham, TX. I can't read the tail number anymore but I looked it up at the time and the Yak was flying out of Houston. Dude flew his Soviet airframe up the road to have a bite to eat!
