Recovers from a flat spin in 1 minute can it?
Sure hopes he start WAAAAAYYYYYY up there then since you can reach RODs in excess of 30,000' fpm
Just like the old 'Cobra' maneuver - a lot of that fancy flying doesn't really relate to combat maneuvers. The Russians have always built incredibly powerful aircraft - and it seem in the last decade they have made some good leaps and bounds in flight controls. I wonder if the egronomics are any better in their newer aircraft? Still makes for a heck of an airshow though!
