For more bizarr art of flying I recommend a show of model planes at EDMQ at 19th and 20th of august: Horizon air meet.
It will be the 9th meeting. For more Information edmq.de
@BeechBaby if you want to see true magic, watch model helicopter 3D:
Amazing stuff! Remember seeing a flight of two of these arrive at some airshow (Le Bourget? not sure anymore) and the wingman did a quick 360 on short final. I sort of rubbed my eyes thinking – did I really see this ??
Defying Laws of Physics – SU-35
Good for airshows. However against the 5th gen fighters like F/22, F/35, it won’t survive combat for very long. Probably not longer than the first day.
The era of WVR maneuvring is long gone.
6:50 looks VERY cool though.

Perhaps. But this is really about tactics. It will widen the envelope of what is tactically possible, and that is always a good thing.
What is all this nonsense? Any dogfights recently or foreseeable in the future?
Military Industrial Complex at its best.
“I reckon ACRO is a troll.”
I enjoy art.
I wonder what they were doing with that engine?
" What is all this nonsense? Any dogfights recently or foreseeable in the future?"
I think its possible with the rules of engagement being visually IDing target before engaging.
