Which was best , mig or Sukhoi Thrust vectored display?

Post by HeyfordDave111 »

Unfortunately i wasn't in country for the Mig-29OVT display at RIAT but do remember the only time in my life that i have stopped doing anything, photography included, for 'THAT' display at Farnborough with the Sukhoi Su xx (cant remember which one it was in the 90's a few years after the big Russian showing at Farnborough).

so i'm asking, is there anyone here that has seen both displays, and which one was better?

I know it is subjective but i'd like to know please, as i read about the Mig-29OVT as a heck of a display and wondered.
cheers and merry Christmas to you all.

Decide for yourself, there’s a great video of a MiG-29OVT display on YouTube. :up:

P.S how do you embed YouTube videos?

Lucky enough to have seen both, the last time was the SU-35 in 2012 . For me the best fast jet display i have ever seen.

Hi Dave,

Was the Farnborough display you're refering to the one by this gentleman ?

It was the most amazing aerobatic display I have ever seen. The slow speed balance and control was truly breathtaking.

Cheers

Similar ar RIAT, if I recall correctly.
Not what the OP was on about, though, as it ain't got vectored thrust. :wink:

'THAT' display at Farnborough with the Sukhoi Su xx (cant remember which one it was in the 90's a few years after the big Russian showing at Farnborough).

Su-37 demonstrator? ( Think that did Farnborough in the late '90s )
