Civilian SU-27 Flankers

Post by RFDGuy » Sat Aug 12, 2017 3:06 am

So I was messing around some of my old pics from back in the day. I miss these birds :(
In case you didnt know of them. A company in Rockford IL imported a couple of ex-Ukrainian Su-27 UBs restored them and flopped the gauges to English. Sadly the birds only had a couple flights each before they got shipped off. Things were rocket ships! No radar and weapons systems = super light weight high performance aircraft.
