Yak 55 Aircraft + Yak 55 Aircraft + GE J-85 Jet Engine = YAK 110

The Yak 110 aircraft was originally conceived by renowned Airshow pilot Jeff Boerboon and Master Mechanic Dell Coller in 2013. The Yak-110 is a one-off design that was constructed by joining two Yak-55 fuselages and a jet engine mounted in between.

The Yak 110 is the result of many talented people coming together with an incredible passion for aviation innovation and is a re-purposing that will certainly inspire the next generation of aviation enthusiasts.

  • The Yak 110 aircraft was originally conceived by renowned Airshow pilot Jeff Boerboon and Master Mechanic Dell Coller in 2013.

    Over the next year and a half, Jeff and Dell began to assemble the team of personnel, airplanes, engineering, and equipment that would be required to bring their dream from concept to reality.

    In September of 2016 the help of a longtime friend Chad Bartee was enlisted to aid in the acquisition of the Yak 55 aircraft that would be used in this unusual marriage.

    In October of 2016 the first two major pieces of the puzzle were coming together. The Yak 55 (N41126) and the Yak 55 (N955SF) were flown to an airport in Caldwell, ID and then pushed inside Dell’s Aero Speed Shop for the work to begin.

    After nineteen months of intense effort by the team the newly christened Yak 110 flew its first Airshow in Mountain Home, ID.

    The Yak 110 is the result of many great people coming together with an incredible passion for aviation innovation and is a re-purposing of two aerobatic aircraft that will certainly inspire the next generation of aviation enthusiasts.

  • Jeff Boerboon (pronounced like the Whiskey), flew the public debut of the one and only Yak-110 in 2018. Jeff, who has previously flown performances in the Jack Link’s Jet Waco The Screamin’ Sasquatch, became inspired to fly aerobatics when he was only seven years old after attending the EAA convention in Oshkosh.

    As a student at the University of North Dakota, Jeff acquired all of his flying ratings including his first opportunity to fly aerobatics. He is now a two-time Advanced National Aerobatic Champion, was a member of both the U.S. Advanced and Unlimited aerobatic teams, and is the 2010 U.S. Unlimited Aerobatic Champion.

    In addition to flying the Yak 110, Jeff is a captain for a major airline and spends his free time flying any airplane he can get his hands on.
