A visitor from - posted Sun October 12, 2008: THIS shot is the most dramatic Yak-52 engine start I've ever seen. Well done
A visitor from Thailand posted Fri October 10, 2008: Yak-52 have the most charismatic engine starting I've ever seen or heard. Just look at this amazing photo. But for the compressed air noise and cylinder firing when this radial engine starts, you will have to witness a real start. Now I would love to fly in one lovely Yakovlev like this one ...

A visitor from Belgium posted Thu May 4, 2006: Today, Thursday 04 May 2006, this lovely shot of "Janie" became the most popular Yak 52 picture on Airliners.net with 12,500 distinct views ! Hope to see more photos of this very "classy" Yak 52 registered G-CBSS on your great website for aviation fanatics like me. If you want to see this baby for real and even fly "Russian", go to the beautiful grass airfield of Namur in Belgium where she is regularly flown by Etienne Verhellen and his friends. You will also see another Yak 52, a Yak 50, a couple of Stampes (SV-4), a Pitts S-2B, some gliders and the Pilatus going up with the Paras and down without ... ! What a great place !
A visitor from Canada posted Tue April 25, 2006: Well done "Janie" ! Congratulations on winning the Yak Acro Trophy in Breighton (UK) during the John McLean Trophy 2006 (See British Aerobatic Association website). Bravo Etienne ! Alain, ton ami from Canada.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Tue January 31, 2006: Turning the prop, priming, turning, priming, what a job, but it's worth. A short doubt and then it's alive, running on all nine cilinders, wow what a sound. This must be a plane with character and watch out, you can fall in love with her/him.
A visitor from Singapore posted Mon January 30, 2006: Starting a 9 cylinders "Radial" engine is great fun for everyone : pilot and spectators alike as this great shot clearly demonstrates ... and try to imagine the lovely growl of this flying machine ... the smell of leather and oil in the cockpit ... the G's when pulling a loop ! Yak 52 ... pleasure for all the senses ! Yeah !!
