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. I have been seeing more of their formations this year and they do some great formation flying.
