Wings Over Camarillo 2009
Nanchang CJ

The CJ-5 and CJ-6 trace their origins back to the Yakovlev Yak-18 trainer. The CJ was built in China and has been through several modifications. Over 10,000 were built and many have found their was to the United States where warbird pilots like their sturdy and inexpensive qualities. They most resemble the Yak-52. Their formation flying at the show this year was fantastic, with nice tight formations where everyone was in the proper slot position. The also flew in a formation with the B-25, which was quite a treat to see.
