I gotta hand it to both Mig and Sukhoi designers. Just gorgeous aircraft. I personally find the designs more pleasing than most American ones.
SimonHJohansen@reddit
The Sukhoi Flanker family are some of the prettiest military aircraft currently in service, they have this graceful elegant look that most American designed fighter jets lack. You can clearly see that Russian and American aircraft designers have very different engineering philosophies.

Looks like Jared Issacman’s

Heard that thing is a nightmare to service and keep flying. Good thing Jared can afford it.
CannonAFB_unofficial@reddit
I believe it. I’d assume you would need a couple fluent Russian speakers on your payroll, unless he somehow got the USAF to hand over whatever flight manual they put together.
WarthogOsl@reddit
The Germans had them as well.
CannonAFB_unofficial@reddit
Good point, I overlooked that.
SimonHJohansen@reddit
Not to mention that several former Soviet republics are currently NATO members namely Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

Guys were saying something about either nitrogen or compressed air…I know the Russians do like to use compressed air for engine starting and motive force for landing gear.

He got two more so it must not be tooo bad
-burnr-@reddit
Maybe needs 3 to ensure one can fly
WLFGHST@reddit
He will have three total, this one, and two in Europe getting overhauled. I don’t think he really ever has reliability issues because he flies this one whenever and I don’t think they’ve missed an airshow due to aircraft issues.

Aggressor skin looks cool.
on3day@reddit
What does the pilot have to do to unlock that skin?
Rox217@reddit
Gotta find the Ace hiding on the opposite side of the map from the objective and take them down.
Job_Stealer@reddit
Yeah, sorta engaging into a combat of aces one might say
WLFGHST@reddit
Be a billionaires
vitesseSpeed@reddit
Down 100 enemy aircraft with shoulder fired rocket projectiles.
the_immovable@reddit
Probably gotta be a test pilot for the air force.
Cheeze187@reddit
Is there a crew ladder, or do you just use a B-1 stand?
CommunicationIcy8940@reddit (OP)
then again it’s seems like they’re using a B-1 stand
CommunicationIcy8940@reddit (OP)
id assume crew ladder. Most fighters i’ve seen use those.
basssteakman@reddit
Looks like a MiG-29 at rest to me
WLFGHST@reddit
I love Jared Isaacman, can’t wait to see his tornado
ElegantElectrophile@reddit
Is this the UB version, trainer plane?
Aviator779@reddit
Yes, it is. As a nod to that, its registration is N29UB.
ElegantElectrophile@reddit
Pretty cool. I used to have a model of the UB version as a kid, thought I recognized it.

The mountains are really a paid actor.
CallsignFlasback@reddit
This looks like Nellis
