after a long day of combat flying, an agressor squadron pilot get to unwind with the russians newest plane, the su-35, thrust vectoring and all. what manuever am i doing? you would never think you'd here these 4 words together. any guesses???
     

It looks like there's a huge sqaure hole in the air frame and I don't think anybody'll be able to guess from this pic.

Yeah, this is indeed a very typical and well-known  manoeuver. In my country, we call it "crash-after-you-got-a-big-missile-in-the-ass"  ;D

your stalling  ;D

Nice shot Swordfish! But might I suggest that next time you zoom in on the plane a little more? It's very hard for us to tell what manouvre your pullig there ... but that looks like a 6G inverted negative dive roll thingy

This is too easy it has to be Cobra. Or if you have wanted to make a harder version of it then it is Pugachev's Cobra.

Cobra is an impressive looking manouver and many of Russian planes can do it put not many western planes. At least some of the westerns to mention is F-22 Raptor and Saab J35 Draken.

Yea, Cobra's are fun!

BTW, Welcome to SimV!
Nice to have someone from Finland here!

Cheers Theis from Denmark!

the hole is from the mouse pointer, a common problem after minimizing. It looked better in the video and it was a vertical, inverted, flat spin. i was going up!!!

a vertical, inverted, flat spin.

I was the closest with my "6G inverted negative dive roll thingy"!!! What did I win??

I like the Su-mersault myself... The first time I saw a clip of the Su backflip, I just went  :o !!!!!!!

...and it was a vertical, inverted, flat spin. i was going up!!!

Actually, I thought you were performing one of the most challenging manouever: "The Stall"  ;D  ;D

the stall is easy in that plane, even at 450 kias
