What an Aircraft! The Su-35S
For more pictures:
I will now get back to bottling my Malbec
She is a looker, and I could have had Flanker Fan as my avatar, but I would feel slightly disloyal, but just slightly. The F-15 was my girl for a long time, and I grudgingly came to love the beautiful little Raptor, (beauty is, as beauty does), and she sure DOES, what an airplane, total domination of the A2A regime, not only today but tomorrow and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day,,,,,,,,,well you get the picture. The Flanker is a fighter pilots aeroplane, she does as much for the eyes of a pilot as "almost" anything else on the planet, even with OVT and canards, shes still a doll. She looks so much smaller than she is, she is so well proportioned, and the T-50, well more Russian exotica on display. Just the very best of fifth gens as far as wing and fuselage, rudders a little small due to OVT, but hey, she looks very proficient, "and deadly" I might add?????
Well She has a Great Front end but the back side is a yugo. Russians put all the Areo Work on the front so they could skimp it and leave all the rough and ugly bits open in the back so the airflow streams over it with out inducing drag it's smart if ugly.C'mon Brat you know you want her....ALL sleek and aerodynamically seductive looking. Lol...try not to think about her when riding your F-15.

Bart, It's like getting an Eastern European mail order bride. They look exotic, have great performance, but all the instructions are in Russian. LOL
boy isn't that the truth, and I have enough trouble with the Honey-Badger, and all the above is true except the Russian part, maybe true of all beautiful women, but they kinda expect "YOU" to know what their thinking???
