THE YAK-11 IS REPLACED BY THE NORTH AMERICAN T-6 TEXAN

AéroRétro's Yakovlev Yak-11, a legendary aircraft on display in the Courchevel 'box'.

The Yakovlev Yak-11 (NATO designation Moose) was a trainer aircraft used by the Soviet Air Force and Eastern European countries between 1947 and the 1960s.

The design of the Yak-11 was largely inspired by the Yak-3 fighter, from which it took a large part of the airframe and fitted a star engine. It became the most widely used trainer aircraft in the Soviet air force. The first prototype flew on 10 November 1945 and entered service in 1946. A total of 3,859 were produced between 1947 and 1956.

In 1958, the Yak-11 was to be replaced by the Yak-11U for jet aircraft training.

Thanks to its resemblance to the Yak-3, the Yak-11 has recently gained in popularity among military aircraft enthusiasts. Its small wing and the possibility of fitting it with an American engine mean that it is one of the fastest aircraft at the races in Reno (Nevada).

Fewer than 20 of these are still flying around the world.
