Golden helmet winners past and present.

Note all the Golden Helmet winners are wearing a side arm over their leather jacket??? might not be there if you have to eject, side arm should be Under your jacket, and protected?? LOL Whizzo's seem to have a knee board strap on each knee of their pressure suit?

IMHO,

Well, it is very much related to Flanker performance.
Only Flanker can do Pugachev Cobra maneuver.
( someone please prove me wrong )

Have you ever seen the video of any other aircraft beside Flanker who can perform Pugachev Cobra maneuver ?

F-22. I know this is a Flanker thread. Do not debate it further.

actually ASIF, Siege and I think they look more like Imperial Shuttles with those lovely tall Vertical STABs, or may-be the winter collection from a certain ladies "delicates" catalogue, on the "runway"???

honestly, I don't even think we could call the TU-95s an elephant walk,, maybe our own old B-52s, but as leggy as those Flankers are, they have tiny little nosewheels?

maybe, we could ask Master Equation??

Isn't that a J-11B, not J-11A (see the radar dome)?
I recall some time ago that the Chinese sought and gained assistance from the Russian's to upgrade the J-11A radars and fire control systems to fire the R-77's...
