Flanker Backflip

FWIW, I found this nice photo of a Su-30MKI on the Sukhoi website – under calendars/wallpapers.. http://www.sukhoi.org/gallery/?gallery_id=56&cur_gallery_id=56

Interesting to note the control surfaces – canards, flaperons, horizontal stabs – plus the TVC nozzles…. and the fact that it is falling towards you, pivoting around the nose axis, just about to roll to port, FCS working overtime….

The site has some nice wallpaper calendar images – three for each month in English – just hover you mouse over the photo to see the months – Mart, Aprel, Mai etc – you don’t need to speak Russian to figure out which months they are.

Enjoy….
