That's a demonstration of all the ways you can crash an aeroplane by stalling! The recoveries are all brilliant as are some of the stalls I like
the stop dead pointing nose up that would be as good a trick in combat as reverse vectoring a Harrier!

Awesome Pilot
Awesome indeed, although alot of what you see is down to the plane ! This is a Sukhoi Su-30MK which has pivoting thrust nozzles on the jet
engines,front canard wings for extra agility and is (like many modern fighter jets) designed to be inherently unstable. This is all controlled by
computers, in fact I am reliably informed by a friend in the RAF that without them some would be unflyable !!! Put a well experienced test pilot in
the hot seat and BINGO!...you have a show stopper ! Check out some more videos at WWW.SUKHOI.ORG Amazing ! They even have one that looks like its
wings have been bolted on backwards !

Not trying to take away the amazing skill of the pilot but the on board computers stop it from falling out the sky or stalling. If only we could have
that on cars!!

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

With of without onboard computers, if your car falls out of the sky you have bigger problems.

The best thing is the comments down the right hand side of the page. Its basically people bitching about who's fighters and airforce are best!
Some people will say anything to cause an arguement on the internet!
