This is a great photo of the team flying at Air Legend Paris in September. The manoeuvre is named DNA where the deployed box plus the mirror roll around leaves a trail with our biodegradable environmental friendly smoke that looks like a DNA strand.
A very difficult manoeuvre to get right and look good .Takes hours and hours of training....only able to be performed with a 6 ship......Unique to the Yakovlevs....
