Well, y'see it has something to do with this...
I was shooting video footage as well as some stills today of the Mustang and Yak 9 today... and had my first ride behind a Merlin which was quite an experience. We even did some aerobatics, loops, rolls and a low-level run along a beach for fun.
Here's the Yak which is one of the new build ones fitted with an Allison V12. It's a sweet aircraft and a good performer.
And together...
