VH-YOV / N46463 / 33 Avioane Craiova Yak-3U-R2000 (MSN 001-3/2005) named ‘Steadfast’, owned by Eastern Fighters Pty Ltd, at Jandakot Airport – Fri 5 September 2014. Though based on the World War Two Yakovlev Yak-3U, this example is based on a Yak-11 airframe and was built in Romania in 2005, powered by a Pratt and Whitney R-2000 radial engine. It was registered N46463 to William E Whiteside, in California in 2005, and was used in the Reno Air Races with the name ‘Steadfast’. In late 2013, it was shipped to Australia and has been under rebuild in the AeroJacks hangar since November 2013. It was registered in Australia on 24 December 2013 as VH-YOV, but still carries its US registration. Photo © David Eyre
