Kindred Posted February 3, 2007 Posted February 3, 2007 Awesome, real ace flying in my book. :thumbup: Sukhoi 30 Jet over Russia http://youtube.com/watch?v=rl42uhDw6L4
gundelgauk Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Ok, I haven't even seen the whole video yet... but - what the hell is that guy doing at about 1:00 to 1:10!? That's just incredibly insane. I'd never thought that something like this would be possible.
Kindred Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 I know :D He sure does know his stuff... Question, the link says a Su30, But re looking at the video, seems to look more like a Su33... Any thoughts?
Kindred Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 It's a Su-37 :) Thanks :thumbup: http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/russia/su-37-pics.htm http://www.milavia.net/aircraft/su-37/su-37_pics.htm

Poopskadoop Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Yup, It's a 30. The Su-33 could not do that. Su-37 had a desert camo paint job, a single seat, and no longer exists. I tell you, I can never get over how beautifully the Sukhoi flies and what a beautiful jet it is in general. It doesn't simply fly; it dances through the sky. Russians are good at ballet in two ways. :thumbup:
Disso Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Guys, its an Su-30MKI, not a 33, 37, any of those. SU-30MKI F/A-18F ...Beauty, grace, lethality.
Guest IguanaKing Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I'm an unashamed fanboy of American hardware, but, WOW!!! That is some impressive s**t right there! :thumbup: Leave it to Sukhoi to accomplish that, the 26s and 29s I've worked on have been impressing me for years.
OldFrankHog Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 PFFFFTT! We can clearly see the wire from the crane holding the plane up in the air.:smartass: Join us today!!!
D-Scythe Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 If Sukhoi ever decides to send Flankers to within 400 km of Toronto, Canada for an airshow, I'll be there.
Andrew_McP Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 It's been a while since I've allowed myself to whine, but.... A... F... M... <sob> for the Su-27... <sniff> PLEEEEEEEEEEEASE! Ok, the 27 doesn't have the thrust vectoring which takes it from a superb ride to the sublime, but... <sigh>. I guess we'll have to settle for playing with an unarmed Ka-50 with a low fuel load. That out to somersault quite nicely. I like my ride with a bit more acceleration though. Andrew McP PS D-S, I don't think you've got much hope. We don't even get them in the UK any more, and they used to be quite common. I think life must be quite hard for Russian aviation these days.
*Rage* Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Can't wait for the day this jet eventually makes its way into a sim. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 64th "Scorpions" Aggressor Squadron Discord: 64th Aggressor Squadron TS: 195.201.110.22

I think life must be quite hard for Russian aviation these days. Mig-29 OVT at Fairford last year - it did a single 'back-flip' ... very impressive. Worth the 4hr drive to get there and 3 more to get back!

Kindred Posted February 4, 2007 Author Posted February 4, 2007 Yep it's a SU30MK :thumbup: http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Guest/204/ :pilotfly: At least the one on Patrick aviation is clearer :D

bSr.LCsta Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 I am so happy to have witnessed the performance of both Mig-29OVT and Su-30MK at MAKS 05'. I can say that I have never seen a more amazing performance of ANYTHING in the air! is this ok?
Guest IguanaKing Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 now thats the typical russian airshow I know... He's got less experience, so it looks like he might have misjudged DA. But...it can happen to anybody. Let's not forget that things make it to video on the internet because they are exciting. That image should, in no way, indicate the "typical" Russian airshow. The worst airshow disaster in history occurred in Germany, and it was an Italian demonstration team flying when it happened. Mankind is not meant to fly, and our endeavor into this world will always be plagued with risk and disaster...it doesn't matter which flag we fly under. :smilewink: My buddy, Jack Rosamond, died in his F-86 at an airshow in Colorado in a hauntingly similar scenario to that of the Sukhoi. The man had flown for almost 50 years, he just f****d up once, and once is all it takes.
Pilotasso Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 ^^^^I remember seeing that on news along time ago. It gave me the creeps, and still does. .
Guest IguanaKing Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Tell me about it...Jack and I had just talked to each other the Friday before that. He was kind of a gruff old USAF fighter pilot, so a lot of people thought he was a prick...but him and I got along just great. It was all about knowing where he was coming from and just taking his personality for what it was...great guy to have a beer with. Not NEARLY as creepy as the conversation I had with Jim Lenahan though. One day we're joking around, slapping each other on the back...the next day, I'm consulting for the NTSB and seeing what was left of him. :(
Force_Feedback Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 now thats the typical russian airshow I know... Yes, in France... As IK said, if you f*** up, you die, if you fu** up and live to tell, you're great, if you f- up and bring the plane back, you're awesome. All is depending on the circumstances of the f-up, so it's either Hell, ejection seat ride, or emergency landing, or a combination of those. The added sound effects are, well, typical for such shows. (lame) Nice clear video, just the way I remember seeing it on the evening news 8 years ago, quality wise. And, having TVC really 'helped', because the jet was able to manoeuver in the last few meters above terra firma, the downside was that one nozzle got stuck, and one engine caught fire, because of this the pilot was unable to recover. According to him, he needed a little more speed in order to save the plane, then he would have been an awesome pilot :D The K-36 got another public demonstration that day, and it had updated chute deployment sequencing. And, the vanilla K-36 series 2 (you know, from vintage mig-29s/su-27s) has better high sinkrate performance than the ACES II, and the ACES II has better performance over the NACES (MB Mk.14), the only drawback was the higher weight (105kg) and the slightly longer parachute deployment delay. BTW, I'm hooked on Weeds now, love watching it while under the influence of the main inanimate object in the series. Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
Poopskadoop Posted February 4, 2007 Posted February 4, 2007 Okay, actually guys, I think this is a Su-35UB.
