About this Flight
Switzerland offers the possibility to fly Warbirds – As this small country managed to dodge WWI and WWII the scene is comparably small and lacks legends like the P-51 Mustang or the Supermarine Spitfire. Switzerland built its own military aircraft, for example the C36 flight in Switzerland and even tried to build an own jet fighter. Also, Switzerland purchased some P-51 Mustang after WWII.
Nevertheless, Switzerland has a lot to offer for people interested in Warbird Rides and even offers flights in the former Switzerland Air Force Hawker Hunter.
With the Yakovlev Yak-9 we offer a very powerful WWII Warbird for rides. The Yak-9 has a maximum speed of nearly 700km/h – a lot for a prop aircraft! It is even faster than many jet-powered aircraft. Starting in Sion in the famous Swiss mountains you’ll have a very enjoyable ride in a Warbird. According to your preferences you’ll hunt around mountains and through narrow valleys at high speed or do some aerobatics and enjoy G-Forces. It’s really up to you, just let your Warbird pilot know what you prefer! The feeling in such a classic warbird is an amazing experience that words cannot adequately describe. The smell, the crackling sound, the incredible power – an adventure joy flight of a lifetime. And all this in a unique landscape.
The space on the Yak-9 back seat is a bit limited. Tall an heavy customer – please contact us first to see if you qualify for the Yak-9 Warbird Ride.
Yak-9 – One of the most mass-produced Soviet Fighter Aircraft of all time
The Yakovlev Yak-9 is a Soviet WWII Warbird. It was built in very large numbers. With 16,769 units produced between 1942 and 1948, the Yak-9 was one of the most mass-produced fighter aircraft made in Soviet Union. The Yak-9 profited from the combat experience of the Yak-7 fighter aircraft. The main focus of this fighter aircraft was on speed. The Yak-9 has a top speed very close to the P-51 Mustang which is famous for it’s very strong engine and its top speed.
