Kenan Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Tried to do some googling on the whole visit and suprisingly, very little info I could gather on it..Or maybe I haven't googled enough?

Kaktus29 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 maybe the name changed of the air base or something like that.. i know of official '92 visit that flankers did in US and did the mock up battle in the atlantic and then this got refuted by americans while russians proudly talked about it cuz of victories gained in those mock ups..but i think the air base was engels or something.. this fork air base is quite new for me..

Pyroflash Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Show F-15 Fanboys who is the boss. The F-15C is the boss. :D If you aim for the sky, you will never hit the ground.
RvETito Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 OT but this 'right amount of money' are billions nowadays. Russians won't display something serious unless they want to sell you stuff for quiet some cash. It's called advertising. For that reason it is highly unlikely for them to send anything to the US even for fun. Those visits in the early '90s have been just political moves, now it's all busine$$. "See, to me that's a stupid instrument. It tells what your angle of attack is. If you don't know you shouldn't be flying." - Chuck Yeager, from the back seat of F-15D at age 89. =RvE=
Teknetinium Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 I don't know, but as a rule, Russians will do ANYTHING for the right amount of money. Anyone do ANYTHING for the right amount of money, not only Russians. If we see F-15s on MAKS airshows I would not be surprised that Su-27s and Mig-29s attending on American air shows frequently. Ukrainians sold a Su-27 to American company so some of you might even see Su-27 with US markings on it ;) 51st PVO Discord SATAC YouTube
Teknetinium Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Meh. The USAF doesn't ask the Russians for any money to send F-15s - or anything else - to MAKS. On the other hand, the Russian's fee for appearing at airshows in the US was almost $100,000. I'm also not aware of any other country that allowed half a dozen civilians to pay $20 million a pop for a trip into space on Soyuz/Mir/ISS. ...Or allows civilians and foreigners to pay thousands of dollars to fly active front-line military aircraft. There is only Russians and Americans that can send people to space by their own technology. At the moment, Americans are using Russian rocket boosters to get to space, Not because they can not make them by them self but because it is cheaper at the moment. Russians are first to offer space tourism, as they were the first in space, I see nothing wrong with that. Same for those who have been dreaming of flying a fast jet. Its not like Russians are selling chemical weapons or nuclear weapons to anyone who desire it. In the end Russians had to do what they could from 1992 to save what was left.
