The world's first pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin learned to fly at the Saratov DOSAAF Aero Club, USSR in 1954-55. The main training aircraft of the aero clubs in those years was the Yak-18, which replaced the UT-2. In the first photo, the future cosmonaut is just standing on his wing. Has Gagarin's first plane survived? Yes. On May 21, 1961, just a month after the flight of the first man into space, the Saratov Aero Club donated to the local history Museum the very Yak-18 that Yuri Gagarin flew.
