Yak Bent at Wanaka
The spectators got more than they bargained for at the start of the end of March Easter airshow event at Wanaka, New Zealand, when Yak-3M, ZK-YYY, collided with a cherry picker parked too close to the runway.
The aircraft was landing on the grass alongside the sealed runway and was rolling to a stop when the right wing hit a cherry picker and was torn off. The Yak came to a halt but not before the prop struck the ground and the tail hit the ground going sideways. The pilot and owner, Arthur Dover, clambered out of the badly damaged machine and gave a wave to the crowd who were pleased to see that he was uninjured.
