 |
|
Just a quick word to the list to say I've had some of the greatest times in
my life with my YAK (9110M).
Not sure where she is now but I hope she's still going strong.
Formation flying with FU (Formation University in Kansas), flights over the
Rockies, flights along the Sierra Nevada mountains, and the Red Stars events
are some of the highlights that bring back fond memories. The YAK is truly
an incredible ride!
I sold 9110M some time back and as a result have slowly migrated away from
all things YAK. Not that I wanted to do that but that is the reality in our
difficult times.
With this in mind, the hosting and administration of the YAK-LINKS Website
( http://www.yaksource.com/ ) has changed. Please update your links!
I've always considered this website as a resource for new and prospective
YAK and Nanchange owners in regards to gathering information about these
aircraft. The links provided (I have been told) were (are) a key resource in
obtaining information about our former eastern block
aircraft.........Everyting from flight manuals to parts suppliers have been
available with this website. In short, this has been a valuable,
informational, "one stop" resource for the YAK and Nanchang community.
I don't yet see Pappy's article on "To Be or Not to Be" on this website but
I'm sure that will change. Pappy wrote this article some time back. It's an
historical account on the Nanchang and its creators straight from the people
who lived it! At one time I was even contacted by a Chinese national
looking for historical information about items detailed in Pappy's article.
I'm sure that as new adminstrator to the YAK LINKS web site, Noel Jones (
noel(at)badyak.com ), would be more than happy to include any links to sites
that may be of interest to the YAK and Nanchang community.
As a side note, you might be surprised to learn just how many "hits" this
website has had over the years!
Kindest Regards
Frank (set out to pasture) Haertlein

Roy Murray owns her here in CO. He is one of the CO YAK PAC, Joe Wilkins, HO Beckett, Al Tinnes, etc. I have a pic of him in formation with me (lead in my SU-29) Joe and H.O. doing their first paid airshow at the Budwieser Events Center Loveland CO. It was long enough ago that I was the only one with smoke.
A little bit of history on your baby.
Respectfully, Rick b
Now with Yak 55m 255DR
