Mic's RIAT 06...Fighter jets

Postby Mictheslik » Sun Jul 16, 2006 3:07 am

A good day for fighters, with two F/A 18s, an F16, a harrier, a tornado, F15 etc. But most people wanted to see the Mig 29OVT....And what a plane! I didn't get any pictures of it doing its best move, but it could go up vertically...stop....and then pivot all the way round using vectored thrust. And the noise was incredible! At the start of the disply there was a lot of moisture in the air, and the F/A 18 formed shock clouds on all it's turns, picture 2 illustrates this a bit.

Great shots. That F-16 (Netherlands) was down at RNAS Culdrose last week.

Doesn't the MiG-29 do the Pugachev Cobra?  Is that what you're talking about?  Or is it the Sukhoi.
