They didn't actually name it “YAK”? Let's name our next jet the Donkey 131, He Hah, He Hah!

You don't know much about the history of aviation do you?

You could pretty well bet he’s never heard of Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev, couldn’t you?

“You don’t know much about the history of aviation do you?”

Apparently he doesn’t.

The YAK 7 and YAK 9 did a pretty damn good job against the Me109s and FW190s. I think a YAK 9 shot down their first Me262.

I always thought the Rooskies stole the design off the P51.
