Remarks: Mateusz Strama: Our Yak was produced in the former Czechoslovakia as LET C-11 in 1956. Then it flew in the Egyptian Air Force. In the 90’s one collector of vintage aircrafts from France purchased from authorities of Egypt a several dozens of aeroplane fuselages. The majority of rebuilt Yak-3s or 11s comes exactly from this group. The “Czech Ride” Yak was restored in the USA by the famous aerobatic pilot Dan McCue. He put into the restoration 12 000 working hours for the repair. The aeroplane returned to the configuration of prototype Yak-3U, based on which Yak-11 was designed. http://afterburner.com.pl/yak-3u-r2000-czech-ride-the-most-powerful-and-the-fastest-piston-engine-powered-airplane-in-poland/
