Name the plane!

My first guess is Yak-11. I'll actually have to go look it up though (I know I have pics) but can't be sure of the designation. I think it's the two seat trainer version.

Close, Sundog! Very close. But, no. When this aircraft landed at our field the tower called me up and said, "Come see the Yak!" It's not a Yak, though.

Here's another shot of it.

AND, not that it will do you much good for identification purposes, but here is a shot of the front seat. You can see it has been modified for use in the U.S. with the addition of english standard gauges, and a GPS, etc.

You guys are fgonna make me go search through my books, aren't ya'?

This one is on the net. Not this plane (until now), but the type. The U.S. started importing them and they are being sold unassembled for around $60k.

In fact, they are mentioned on a well known Yak site.

Guess again

I'm almost certain it's a Chinese Nanchang CJ-6. Not sure which variant though.

Here's an even nicer cockpit...

More views of this extremely clean aircraft.

In flight...
