Default BADASS YAK NO MORE

I went to a fun fly today and this is what I saw !!!!! It was due to a mishap in a gaggle hover. Even though things like this happen from time to time , this is still the most aewsome sport on the planet! Thanks all the giants for putting on a great show in CT.

That's my Yak, J-bone, I hope you don't mind but I changed the title to BAD ASS NO MORE, yes it was unfortunate but **** happens and it did today.

Sorry about your Yak Elie. That was the coolest Yak that I have ever seen. It was truly one of a kind.

Guys we had a great day yesterday and unfortunaly a ausome weekend had to end like this.Elie and Steve are both great pilots and it's unfortunate that both of their planes ended up like this but the main thing is that no one was hurt in the process.
