Man, I just looked at the Yak23...If the saying that planes that look good fly well has any truth to it, that thing flyes like a M113 full of bricks....

I have absolutly no idea what your talking about.

Yaks are bad mofos. "For starters, the yak's got some great foul weather gear: a thick, shaggy coat to trap body heat, and 40-inch curved horns that he uses to dig under the snow for grasses, leaves and twigs. He's also got large hooves that allow him to walk across icy mountain passes and wade through deep snow without slipping or falling. These super snowshoes spread out his weight and give him good grip. Considering he can get up to 2,000 pounds and 11 feet long, that's no small feat..."

Seriously, no clue.

A Yak is an old Soviet proppler-driven airplane if memory serves...

The Yak-38 is like a weighed down Harrier, most dangerous thing about it was not knowing where it was going to crash.

The Yak-3 was the Russians best plane during WWII.

But I don't know anything about the Yak-23, was it an interceptor?

here's some info about it:

LOL@RenderSafe yak joke....

You guys don't understand the ramifications of what you are seeing! Can't you tell the amazing breakthrough the soviets have made? An UNENDING SELF SUSTAINING SUPPLY OF COMBAT AIRCRAFT! That's right, that plane is PREGNANT!!
