AirVenture visitors can fly formation with the Aerostars aerobatic team in Redbird’s custom-built Yak-52 simulator—and maybe the real airplane
It takes years of practice to earn a spot in the daily airshow over Oshkosh, but this season visitors can experience formation flying for themselves using a Redbird MX2 simulator at AirVenture. This custom-built simulator replicates a Yakolev 52TW, the 450-horsepower, tailwheel version of the fully aerobatic Russian military trainer flown by the Aerostars. Visitors can just try on the Yak for fun, or experience what it’s like to fly formation in the Aerostars flight challenge.

The Recreational Aircraft Foundation fundraiser offers community and warmth
A roaring fire marked the opening evening for Redbird Skyport’s second annual Migration Flight Training Conference. The fire was in a “fire hub,” a creation of the Recreational Aircraft Foundation (RAF). The hubs are 22-foot-diameter circles lined with bricks and segmented by three 9-foot aluminum propeller blades radiating out from a central hub containing the fire.
