OK... we really can’t wait to see this... The Yak-110, an innovative aerobatic airplane created by attaching two Yak-55s together and adding a jet engine in addition to the two radial engines, is slated to appear and perform at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2018 for the first time ever.

The primary builder of the Yak-110, Dell Coller, EAA 683852, said he believes Oshkosh is the perfect place to bring his new experimental airplane. “I can’t think of a better place to bring this airplane in its first year,” Dell said. “I think everybody who attends the show is really into experimental airplanes, obviously with it being the Experimental Aircraft Association. I think they’ll really enjoy seeing this airplane do its thing.” The highly visible Icon A5 accident, the second fatal crash of the year, that took the life of former major league player Roy Halladay now has a few blanks filled in by the revelation of drugs in Halladay’s system, according to the local Medical Examiner's autopsy report. The NTSB has released its probable cause report from an accident involving a Bell 525 on a test flight in July, 2016. According to the report, the experimental research and development helicopter was undergoing developmental flight tests before type certification. On the day of the accident, the helicopter test crew was performing a series of one-engine-inoperative (OEI) tests at increasing airspeeds with a heavy, forward center-of-gravity configuration.
