he also must use good judgement when he pulls up to go around - a tail drag would ruin his day
Red arrows or Blue Angels may be good, but the russians are REALLY the Topguns!!
does the pilot have any room for error ?
GREAT SHOT!
#1
really worth it.
I would love to se this same scenario with vapour tracers to see the airflow underneath the plane!!
go go russian!! rossija vperod!!!
Based upon the angle of attack, and adjusting for ground effect, I would estimate his speed at something close to 300 knots. Any slower would require a much greater angle of attack and much faster would begin to form some type of condensation in the air around the plane.
They are nuts!
By the way: Did the tower say: low level or mow level? ;-)
It looks like it's just hovering over the ground!
Every time he exists the cockpit following a flight display he does a roman press, revealing just how composed he is...!! He also has a hand-shake like solid granite.
On top of it all he is the most humble person you could imagine in spite of his obvious talents...!
considering how quickly the aircraft was flying by (some have said ~300kts) I am especially impressed by the clarity and crispness of the aircraft markings and rway lines aft of the aircraft.
Does that look like the inflite refueling probe
sticking out the upper left of the nose.
It just looks like it is hovering in mid-air.
excellent shot!
He and his "Steel bird" is one creature here! But such risks is not for me... besides - i`m a girl. So sad about it!

By the way: See this picture for a view from another angle: https://www.airliners.net/open.file/1027487/L/
Most impressive shot i've ever seen.
In reality, this is old tech. We have the "bathtub"; stealthy too!

The best pilots all over the world!!!
Amazing trick, major balls needed to do that.
Sorry l was wrong!
5stars is not enaugh.
I believe Russian pilots are great !
Low can I say...
#2 It is very well done - good focus and composition
#3 I just like military hardware
"It's more than 1m I think..."
That's right! It's 1,03m!! :-)
That pilot is RAF Red Arrows Calibre!

A wise man once said, "Pilots can be old or bold, but not old and bold . . ." :D
good flyin'!
my god thats amazing
I just wish I was there to see it my self.
Thanks to photographer who made it possible for the rest of the world to enjoy this magnificent pilot skill.
Russia rules
Excilent pilot SKILLS
I dont know what else to say....just, brillaint...:D
The pilot (guts, Jedi-like mastering) and the photographer (clear image, crisp colors, no blur) met perfect conditions (wind, place, camera, light, ...). Five stars for both skilled men.
One word for the pilots and the photographer:Superrr..
And machine, machine!!!
Just not try to repeat this at home! :)))
Allright kids, don't try this at home ok?, leave it to the pros.

Imagine you driving and Su 30 overtake you :-)
Great pilot, great skills, great plain and great photo

what is the stall speed of this Russian bird?
amazing!!!
If the pilot sneeezes, he's dead.
mind blowing
The Transonic or Supersonic Wave will create trmendous splashes from the water surface and the engines will digest alot of water through its intake therefore a flame out of the engines is inevitable.
Here is see it in practice!!!
The plane is higher than it looks, since its over a runway in the foreground, not shown. It being over the white line is a line-of-sight illusion.
The shot still is great, though.
Great shot!
Just when I thought I had seen it all, the roussis blow my mind yet again...yet, yet again..what next? are they gonna stop the machine with their feet??
Hats off to the pilots! And this for sure is no camera trick...

Russia big up!
Go Ruskies, your pilots are the best !
Great plan and brilliant picture! Congratulations
It is a perfect static image of a combat plane, i like how uou can see the pilot and copilot clearly en everything under control.
and ballsy pilots
I am personally familiar with one of pilots!
those crazy russian pilots! :)
First of all theres no exhaust, because the pilot turned the engine on idle. And why shouldn't that be possible. If you fly an airplane for several years in flight shows you surely have a very good feeling for it. Pidarassi wi vseh!!!
p.s. there is no photoshop here, u can also see Kvochur's low pas at youtube
its called Ground Effect, and i really dont think they are using it right there. trust me. =)
Impressive anyway.
btw, the soviets/russians design such beautifully formed jets!
There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old bold pilots. Great photo, wonder if there is a video?
BTW stunning picture!
