And judge 4 yourself



several of these were modified to ground attac role.

and shot down by the numbers as the O2's etc were.

We had one in Holland some years ago and I flew it for some airshows.

There was 'some vibration' in the airframe.......wonder why?



I would not like to be on the ground when one of these fly over, unless sheltered and armed with FLAK.



New dead horse please....!

cheers,

More info from the web:  



"Yak-52B - anti-partizan assoult aircraft. Two UB-32 rocket launchers. Also known as Yak-54"



The rocket launchers appear to be UB-32-57 and carry 32 rockets each (57 refers to diameter of the launch tube - 55mm for the rocket plus 2mm).  Weight each loaded (according to one site) is 264 kg (581 lbs) - unloaded weight is 226 lbs each.

A little more info.  this is a rough translation from russian:



Yak-52B-light plane, Yakovlev established on the basis of the education Yak-52 aircraft.  The experience of the war in Afghanistan pointed to the need for combat operations in light attack aircraft guerrilla movements. One of the projects was the establishment of such an yakovlevsky Yak-52B (scheduled in the case of production assign it a symbol Yak-54). The reference was made cheap and reliable Yak-52 UTS.  The aircraft made two pylon with a hung UB-32 blocks.  .The aircraft had strengthened wings. The plant was tested, but the fact that the military had expressed interest in the plane, further work was stopped.  The only version of the aircraft was transferred to Aviamuzey in Monino.



Empty plane:  1100 - 2420 lbs

Max takeof:  1420 -  3124 lbs

FWIW, if you look at the location of the jack stand, it is neither under the 

cowling nor under the wing or, based on the base legs of the jackstand, can 

not be under the right wing or pod.  Given this, what is your point of 

significance about the jack stand?

That airplane is probably for sale and being billed as "the best maintained Yak in the US".  Probably a boat or an RV nearby as well. 



Those pods look like ones I "liberated" from a junk yard in Balad,  Iraq. If I recall, they were off a MiG-23. Too bad we ran out of space on the home bound Herk. (By the way, removing military hardware was legal as long as it was done through the right channels.)

Look like the same ones that mount on L39's.  Security Aviation up in Alaska

ran in to some problems with the ATF/FBI/Homeland Security as I recall

because of some of these....probably a good thing you didn't bring 'em home!

Jay, 



You would not believe what made it back to the states! Most of it legal, some..maybe not. There were airplanes EVERYWHERE over there..peoples front lawns, parking lots, stacked in piles. There was a junk yard that looked like the lot behind some airplane scrappers facility. You literally could walk around and find some totally random stuff. Shell casings, all kinds of documents, HUD's, seats, helmets...JET ENGINES! 



The Iraqi Air Forces was a shell of what it once was. We climbed around some MiG-25's that were parked so close you could easily walk between them via the top of their wings! 



Anyways...

Interesting then that there are apparently TWO YAK-54's.  The one

mentioned here, and a Aerobatic two seater.  Hmmm.
