| YAKOVLEV Yak-18T (N8018T) over New York Harbor |
This is not your run-of-the-mill small airplane:
The Yakovlev Yak-18T is a four- or five-seat fully aerobatic utility aircraft developed by Yakovlev. Introduced to train Aeroflot pilots, it has gained some popularity as a sportplane both inside and outside the former USSR. It is powered by a 360-400 hp Vedeneyev M14P radial engine, and is designed for stresses of +6.48/-3.24 g.
Introduced in 1967, Yakolev built 700 of them.

I have flown a Yak50, aerobatic singleseater, radial engine, supercharged around 400+ hp. Great handling. But no flaps.
Funny flaps: https://youtu.be/WW6rDlieCAc?si=2R3W-I5D73__yUBY&t=789
