I'd love to see a Mig and SU-27 do the tail slide.. but I think I'll just wait until RIAT 2008.. when the F-22 comes to town  |
Saw the SU-35 in action at Farnborough in 92, absolutely awesome !  |
Seconded!! |
Did you have a look at it when it was parked up?? The American F-16 when you had a nose looked immaculate, everything was perfectly put together, painted and in place. The Sukhoi looked like someone had simply panel beaten it to shape!!!
I am not sure if this was some sort of anti radar technique or something or if they simply don’t care about finish!!?
