Aviation Photo #1970458 Sukhoi T-50 - Russia - Air Force

Sensational shot Dmitriy

Simply awesome!!

Tomcat & Raptor match beautifuly together..

Awesome the way the sun allows the capture of so much detail. Beautiful bird as well..

Absolutely five stars. Well done!!! This picture very clearly shows the complexity of the flight control system; look at the fully deflected ailerons, augmented by asymmetric deflections of leading edges, horizontal stabilizers and vertical stabilizers. And probably the exhaust nozzles. Beautiful.

Outstanding!!!

Looks like F-14 Tomcat from this angle.

Beautiful lines

This image makes me drool about how a modernised Tomcat would be like...

Interesting shot Dmitriy, well done!

I am biting my elbows... I can not wait till they finish it and roll out this handsome... thing or birdy (as you wish) fully completed and armed.

At Last!...Beautiful Russian Designs.

I just love the angle. It's one beautiful bird - it combines the sleek lines of the F-22 with the brutal look of SU-27 or something like that. And yes, a litte bit of F14 there, I agree. Never the less, the angle combined with deflection of control surfaces really makes the picture come alive!

Aside from the fact that it's a spectacular photo of a spectacular plane, this image has lots of treats for the observant. Of particular interest to me is the less-than-perfect weapons bay door alignment, and the fact that many sharp (presumably radar-noisy) edges are visible. I wonder whether it will really match up to the F-22's all-round low observables.
