Your Yak queries.

#1 - This Yak 3 I understand to be an Yak 3 c/n 115450123 and reportedly on loan from the Yakovlev OKB Museum in Moscow.

#2 - This is thought to be Let C-11 No 171304 - No civil registration. Since your visit it has now been smartened up somewhat and was out on the ramp in 9/00.

: ame?

: Question #2:
: Model: Yakovlev Yak-11
: Spotted: Planes of Fame in December 1997

: ell. It was mainly dark green. The front edge of the cow
: l was yellow and the top tip of the tail was yellow. Ther
: e was red stars on the fuselage and tail, and "11" on the

: Any idea what the ID of this one is?

: I bet there is some visiting WIX that has the info!
