Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker warbird N131SU first flight

This aircraft is the first civilian-operated Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker in the world. Its first post-restoration flight, seen here, took place on 10 December 2009, in Rockford, Illinois, USA. It is registered N131SU.

The outside air temperature for this flight was 7 degrees Farenheit, or minus 14 Celsius. The wind was 250/15. The takeoff roll on Runway 25 was approximately 1,100 feet, and the pilots used a climbout angle of approximately 25-30 degrees to avoid accelerating through their FAA-waivered speed limit in Class D airspace. Flight duration was approximately 45 minutes.

This aircraft and its sister ship have both been sold since this video was made. No further information is available about the sale at this time.

Эти два самолета были проданы. Мы не можем предоставить дополнительную информацию на этот раз.

@TheTurbinator Dude, are you fucking kidding me? It's stupid internet wankers like you who have never even SAT in a private aircraft that come on here and make jackass comments like this that piss me off. Stick to your sim, asshole. Your comment is so off base that I'm not even going to address the idiocy of it. Dumbass.

Well Mig-29 is far behind Su-27. Su-27 is best thing after AA systems that USSR ever produced that why i consider it pretty valuable.

@RacerXGTO Если лицо или частная авиакомпания имеет деньги, он может купить что-нибудь, должно быть хорошо..........If a person or a private aviation company has money, they can buy anything, must be nice

@mauricioalfredo83 And yet Russia builds the PAK-FA to counter the F-22, a plane which according to you is crap. why would they go out of their way if we can't "build fighters" and make a direct counter to the F-22A? oh right, your sentence made no sense and made yourself look like an idiot.

Looks like your little fanboyism of a country just backfired, XD.
