Aviation Photo #2074287 Sukhoi T-50 - Russia - Air Force

Cool combination of "look at me" camo and low-viz stars. Looks like Star Wars - is that R2D2 behind the cockpit?

I think the only way to describe this photograph is with adjectives; astonishing, marvelous, amazing come to mind; as good as it gets !

Is it just me or does this T-50 have a 2 piece canopy instead of the 3 piece ones that are on other T-50's?

Wow, look at the heat signature from those engines and I don't think they have the stealthy angles right on the radar reflective surfaces.....uh, what I meant to say was, WOW, look how stealthy that Russian fighter is! Amazing that they made it so stealthy. Their stealth technology frightens and amazes me. ;)

To the British commentor: yes, the second prototype has a two piece canopy, differently from the first one. But for some reason, the third prototype returned to the three-piece canopy.

Wonderful airplane!!!

Cool photo!
Thanks for sharing!

To the visitor from Argentina: third prototype has also two piece canopy.
