SP-YBK Home at last
- Details
After a 1000 Km (540 NM) trip from Czech Republic to Belgium, The LOM-Jungmeister was welcomed by surprise by pilots friends and my wife Babou :)
Two other legendary biplanes, a Stampe SV4 and a Pitts S2a were waiting for the Jungmeister's arrival to make the last 10 miles in my wings. This was a wonderful surprise and an unforgettable welcome :)

SP-YBK was originally built by Janusz Karasiewicz in Poland, but did not fly prior to his untimely death in 2006. Benoit completed the aircraft which has been making its way through the long and detailed certification process in Otrokovice, in the Czech Republic. (Otrokovice is the airport at which Zlin aircraft were manufactured for so many years, so the Jungmeister was in good company.) - SB
