Sukhoi Su-27
Flanker First Flight!
Despite bitter cold conditions in
northern Illinois, Flanker N131SU made its first post-restoration flight
on 10 December 2009, and became the first civilian-owned, flying Su-27
in the world. Flight duration was 40 minutes, and all the planned flight
test-card items were successfully accomplished. Except for a minor
intercom gripe, all aircraft systems were completely nominal. Needless
to say, everyone involved was very happy with the flight, and we look
forward to further evaluating the airplane in the days and weeks to
come.
