FS2004 YAKOLEV YAK-9
================================================
The Russian YAK-9U Fighter, represented a formidable threat which delivered the knock out blow to the Luftwaffe during World War II on the Eastern front. Due to the YAK-9's incredible speed, handling, reliability and firepower, German Messerschmitt BF-109s and Fock Wulf 190s suffered enormous losses. The Luftwaffe reported over 94,000 aircraft missing in action during World War II, more than 62,000 of these on the eastern front.

KeSha Enterprises is proud to present a fighter that helped win World War II.

This particular YAK-9 is owned by Sean Carroll and is based in Georgetown, Delaware. Besides making the air show circuit with the Yak Demonstration team it also flies in Reno at the Reno Air races each year. It won 3rd place Unlimited Silver in 2004 by beating several Mustangs! In 2005 they are returning to Reno with hopes of qualifying in Unlimited Gold.
