Is it just me or is the second photo merely rotated?
Aerial maneuvers at the Air Force Day...
It's just you! Heh! Heh!, in the top photo there is right rudder, and in the bottom photo it's left rudder! I'm sure some of you remember the movie line "Right Ruddah!" a command to the helmsman in an English accent, I can't remember if it was a skimmer or a submarine movie? Maybe it was a German accent? RIGHT RUDDAH!
this is a gorgeous airplane, I do believe the Chinese Flankers have a better fit and finish, and this is the opposite of what we saw on AK-47's, Early Russian AK's are gorgeous weapons and highly coveted, the Norinco's ? not so much...
It's just that the shadow is on the top while the sun seems to shine from below, hence I thought it was rotated anti-clockwise from a "normal" position. Note I was talking about the second photo of post #6892.
Its not the same photo, but the bottom photo could very well be rotated,, the Flanker is no doubt rolling though, more of big loopy "snap roll" or "barrel roll",? notice there isn't a great deal of aileron deflection.
It would appear to me that the photo's may be "out order", in other words the bottom photo may be the first photo, followed by the top photo....
