Notes:

Port side view of a Yak-3 crash involving ZK-YYY Cn 1701231 at ‘Warbirds Over Wanaka (WOW) 2018’, at Wanaka Airport (NZWF) on Saturday 31Mar2018. The Stbd wing is between the main wheels, and the tail-wheel is passing the propeller. Greame Frew in Yak-3 ZK-VVS and Arthur Dovey in ZK-YYY took off from Paved Rwy 29 and opened the WOW 2018 Airshow with a flypast over fire-balls/ fireworks. On landing, the Pilot of ZK-YYY was unable to see forward over the nose, and the Stbd wing of the Yak-3 collided with one of two ‘Cherry-Pickers’ parked on Grass Rwy 29. The aircraft ground-looped through 700 degrees clockwise, with a demolished Stbd wing. Arthur vacated the aircraft unassisted in less than a minute.
