This Russian Yakovlev 12M Forward Observation and Air Ambulance aircraft of the former Soviet Union is under restoration to flying condition by our volunteers. It is one of the few of its type in the United States. It is being restored with as much of its original equipment and fittings as possible.
The Yak-12 was designed by the Yakovlev design bureau to a 1944 Russian Air Force requirement for a new “Forward Observation Aircraft” to operate off rough unimproved strips and remote areas.
This example was assembled in Poland. It is powered by the Ivchenko AI-14R, 260 hp, 9 Cylinder radial and is fitted out in the Air Ambulance or “Medi-Vac” configuration.
This aircraft is being restored to flying condition to original configuration and equipment for flight and static display for all to enjoy.
