The Yakovlevs are a UK based six-aircraft formation and aerobatic display team who have earned a reputation for excellence over the last 18 years, delighting well over two billion people in the process, across four continents.

In 2012 the team broke China Central Television (CCTV) viewing figures, attracting more than 380 million spectators over a five-day period when they were displaying at Faku on the North Korean border for the first ever AOPA China Airday.

Consummate believers in pushing the boundaries of high performance, The Yakovlevs exude the highest of standards in every aspect of their operation. The team is a specialist airborne display team flying authentic cold war Russian war-bird aircraft in precise, yet graceful combinations of tight formations and exciting aerobatics, high speed passes and breath-taking crosses.

Airshows
The Yakovlevs provide a dynamic and highly professional service when attending air shows.
We’ve entertained more than two billion spectators at air shows across the globe, specialising in graceful aerobatics and precision formation flying.
Our pilots are not only some of the most talented and respected display pilots in the world, but they’re also great ambassadors, trained in public speaking and giving TV interviews. Make your airshow one that will be remembered for years to come by booking the Yakovlevs.

Private display
Do you have a special occasion to celebrate? Perhaps a significant birthday, a company launch, a promotions event, a retirement party?
Over the years the Yakovlevs have delivered hundreds of displays for individuals, companies and corporations.
From singleton displays to full six-ship sorties, we can tailor a package to suit your specific requirements and budget (we’re also a lot less expensive than you might think!). As for the organisation, our service is complete – we arrange all the necessary permissions and agreements with the authorities. All you need do is sit back and enjoy the show!

Weddings
The Yakovlevs specialise in celebrating a wedding in a never-to-be-forgotten sequence that will thrill all onlookers.
Our eight-minute display combines close formation aerobatics, such as loops and barrel rolls, as well as exciting opposition passes where the aircraft are set on a head-to-head path, yet cross safely!
We close the show by tracing a heart in the sky – a unique and unusual opportunity for photographs and a special moment to add to that very special day.
We are good at keeping a secret too! As for the organisation – our service is complete and comprehensive – we organise all the necessary permissions and agreements in advance with the authorities.

Nestled in the beautiful Somerset countryside, and yet in close reach of the region’s main railway stations and motorways, the team’s HQ is much more than just a place to put the Yaks to bed after a long day of displays and transits.
We also have a conference centre, a lecture hall that can seat 30+ people, a maintenance facility, fully-fitted kitchen, briefing rooms, offices, shower facilities, and even our own spray booth!
With 800 sqm of hangar space we have more than enough room to entertain up to 200 people at a time, so book us now for your next corporate entertainment day; to come and meet the team, watch us display, let us take you flying, and enjoy a hangar ball at the end of a fun-packed day.
