I remember watching this astonishing display on the television and thinking the Fulcrum was amazing. Then the Su 27 Flanker was rolled out.

Remember seeing this at the time, it was the undoubted star of that years show with it's display. Truly jaw dropping the impact it made. Thanks for posting.

Awesome video! Thanks for posting it. This is pure Cold War nostalgia for me. You have a loyal subscriber here in Northport, Alabama.

Proud to have this fighter in the Indian Air Force. Finest aircraft amongst the MIG family serving the IAF.

Wowee moment, the sheer brilliance, miss Russians from the tattoo

Always felt a lot of Western pilots never really pushed their machine to the limits. Certainly not the case with the Soviets at this airshow.

[@StanislavLuminous]

Small correction. Not Russian, but Soviet! :-)

[@МаГаТи-БС.ст]
