These pilots must have a lot of faith in these magnificent old aircraft.I wonder what age the pilots are & what nationalies most of them are.This is an excellent video.🙂
@@brantardrey7360 The original engine for such shows is unnecessarily expensive, not only does it have 1600 +- h/p, but there are very few engine hours.
Nice thing about the Yak is you can run at full throttle and RPM as long as you want. Only caveat is the need to watch the oil and water temps. Keep the oil wide open the whole time as it has the least drag and then you can just monitor the water.
@@traktori2888 The Yak-9 with the VK-107 engine could shoot down the Fw-190 at any altitude, except that the Fw-190, due to a heavier airframe, gained speed faster in a dive, but even so, in horizontal flight, the Yak-9 caught up with it.
