The throaty rumbling of round engines drew my attention to the sky. I was expecting to see WW II trainers such as Stearmans or T-6’s, but the silhouettes were wrong. Then, I remembered seeing Yak 33’s in the area with a similar round engine roar. The sight and sound of six of them flying over in formation was unforgettable.

I dont know that airplane term Yak…. I do know a lot of old airplane names though.
I’m glad that you like airplanes. The Yak is a Russian design and is a good aerobatic performer. They are neat to watch and there are several in my local area.
Thanks.
