YAK-52
Aerostar S.A.
YAK-52
N52MY
This aircraft was purchased from the Romanian Air Force by Mark and Alison Haskell of Brunswick Maine in Spring of 2001. She is named "Lizzy-Lou" in honor of our daughter Elizabeth Louise who was borne on the day we signed the contract.
After serving the Romanian Military as a trainer and aerobatics / airshow aircraft, this YAK-52 returned to the Aerostar S.A. factory in Bacan, Romania for restoration before being shipped across the Atlantic. Final assembly took place in Swanton, VT. The Paint scheme encompasses the nose, tail and lightning bolt markings of the Yakovlev and Lavochkin Russian fighters.
Based primarily out of Auburn / Lewiston and Portland, Maine airports, she now flies to honor our vets past and present. The rear fuselage markings honor Warren H. Haskell, who served in the Army Amphibian Corps of Engineers in the South Pacific in WW-II.
