Funny you should say that, I've been flyin the YAK since before it's
"discovery by the masses." and although it's a fine plane.....the
REAL "dark horse" of AH is.............the
La5.
I've gone H2H with
SPINOUT YAK vs YAK in the MA many times, he is very good in it, and I although I'm no slouch in the YAK he is a bit better.
But one night I decided to show off a bit with
SPINOUT, and grabbed an La5, we furballed a bit La5 vs YAK for a while, he was quite surprised by the La5's performance.
I was easily able to talk him into grabbing one for a couple of sorties 1v1, after he'd seen the moves one can make in an La5.
At the end of the night,
SPINOUT was seriously contemplating a ride choice change.
My choice of grabbing a La5 started when
Pongo was teasing me a bit about how hard it was to hit my YAK, so I grabbed the La5 to show I could do the same in it. Sadly I haven't had the opportunity to go up against Pongo in my La5
yet.
