Hi all
this just about comes into the historic category.
There was a Farnborough display in the early 1990’s where there was a big Russian contribution.
This included the Mig 31, The Frogfoot and a Backfire(?).
The vertical take-off, supersonic Yak 141 was also there. I think it only displayed once–maybe because of noise issues and runway damage.
Has anyone got pictures of the 141 either in the air or on static, that they’d like to share and has anyone got a list of all the Russian aircraft that participated.
Also, what year was it?–I’m getting old and confused.
Cheers
Andy.

Aerofax did a nice book on the Yakovlev VTOL jets, it should still be available. I’ve got a few megabytes of Yak-38 and -141 photos, I’ll throw some of ’em in here tonight.

VTOL Yaks.
Flanker Man.
Many thanks for those pictures.
I liked also the Yak 36 ones taken at Monino.
I think the Russian VTOL program was a fascinating era.
Cheers

Not the machine at Farnborough – but some pics of the Yak-141 taken in Moscow.
Part of an modelling article I did scratchbuilding a ‘Freestyle’ at :- http://www.flankerman.fsnet.co.uk/modl_yak-141.html
You need to scroll down past the model pics
I’ll try and get round to putting them (plus some other more recent ones) onto my ‘Other Russian Aircraft’ pages.
Also some pics of Yak-38’s – click on the appropriate thumbnail at :-

I was lucky enough to be there the day the Yaks flew and got quite a few shots. I will try and remember to dig them out.

I agree that the 1992 Farnborough show was the last one worth going to.Here is a pic of the Yak-141

OOPs!! so many to list!
MIG-31 was “374” – saw it display at Paris a year earlier, big noisy beast (isnt all Russian stuff!?)
The Su24 “Fencer” is the swing wing F111 look alikey (It is actually longer than the F111 by 2 metres!!) This and the 2 Su27s went on to the Leuchars display.Obviously the Tu22 “Backfire” has swing wings as well.
I have photos, but they will have to wait ’till the weekend .

‘Twas 1992 – a cracking year – perhaps the last “vintage” ‘boro. The Yaks only flew on the Thursday and amazed all with the deafening racket. Most of the aircraft flew accreditation routines but few actually flew for the public.
