13 & 14 SEPTEMBER 2025 - Sanicole Airfield (Hechtel-Eksel)

Yakovlev YAK-50

The Yakovlev Yak-50 is a Soviet single-seat aerobatic aircraft that first took to the skies in 1975.

Designed by the Yakovlev Design Bureau, the Yak-50 was built primarily for aerobatic competition and training, reflecting the USSR's strong emphasis on showcasing aerial prowess during the Cold War era. Its construction features an all-metal, low-wing monoplane design, powered by a 360-horsepower radial engine, enabling it to execute intricate aerobatic maneuvers with precision. This is how it became very popular at aerobatics competitions and airshows.

Discover this aircraft, that remains popular with collectors and is actually based at the Sanicole airfield, in the static park.
