I'd love to have the 37 as a personal "fun craft" and just burn a hole in the sky.... but then again, I'd most likely get hot dog F-18, F-15, F-16 pilots constantly trying to screw with me up in the air. Russian fighters are rugged like the AK-47. You can drop em in mud, get them dirty and they'll still work. Let me know if one shows up on Craiglist
Daaaamn! I see the Sukhoi pilots have been training! Last time I remember the Cobra trick was the craziest they did... now this is just amazing!
It may not have vectored thrust, but I'd be willing to bet you would be the only guy on the field with one...love the fact it comes with a spare ejection seat! http://www.trade-a-plane.com/clsfdspecs/777646
I saw a thing on the history channel that Russia was selling Nuclear Subs for IIRC 50 mill in the early 90's. So if you have enough money and know the right people its do able.
They are ALL remarkable aircraft! The Rapture accomplishes it's tasks without the front canards of the Sukoi-37. The Sukoi-37, has vectored nozzles, also. Just amazing fighters! Ciao...Paolo
