Yakovlev Yak-11

The Yakovlev Yak-11 (NATO reporting name: "Moose") was a trainer aircraft used by the Soviet Air Force from 1946 until 1958.

The Yak-11 design was based in large parts on the successful Yak-3 fighter; it became the Soviet Air Force's most widely used trainer aircraft and has sometimes been equated in importance with the T-6 Texan. Due to its Yak-3 lineage, the Yak-11 has recently seen widespread popularity among warbird enthusiasts. Souped-up versions of the Yak-11 can be frequently seen at air races.

In total, 3,859 aircraft were produced. They were replaced in 1958 by the tricycle-geared Yak-11U which was intended as a trainer for jet pilots.
