EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2019: Airshows - Yak-110

One of the most unique airshow performers of recent years is the Yak-110, flown by Jeff Boerboon who previously flew the Jack Links Screamin' Sasquatch Jet Waco. The one-of-a-kind aircraft began construction at the Dell Aero Speed Shop in Caldwell, ID in 2016 using two Yak-55 aircraft with the addition of a GE CJ-610 jet engine. It is flown from the left cockpit only, and, like it's jet/radial-powered cousin, combines grace, noise and power into an unforgettable aerobatic performance. Here we feature views of the Yak-110 from the Tuesday and Saturday airshows.

Fair St. Louis Opening Airshow Features Variety of Civilian and Military Performers

By Carmelo Turdo

Fair St. Louis held their first airshow of 2019 this afternoon, one of five airshows planned for July 4-6 over the Mississippi River near the Gateway Arch grounds. The airshow performers were based at St. Louis Downtown Airport, only a few miles distant from the riverfront. The Aero Experience was again at the airport to capture these views of the aircraft as they took off and made their tactical breaks for landing. We hope you enjoy this brief review of the first Fair St. Louis airshow.
