X-Plane 10.30+ Yakovlev Yak-23 Flora v1. The Yak-23 (NATO code name Flora) is a Russian jet fighter developed in the 1940s powered by a jet engine copied from the Rolls Royce Derwent and manufactured without license. The Yak-23 entered service in late 1949 but the Soviet Air Force preferred the better performing MiG-15 which quickly replaced the Yak-23. Credit goes to Bernard Augras for the use of his pilot.
