Fly Sukhoi sim and become a Russian Top Gun
For years, airshow crowds have been wowed by the superlative demonstrations of Russian fighters, but now visitors here at Le Bourget can sample the delight
For years, airshow crowds have been wowed by the superlative demonstrations of Russian fighters, but now visitors here at Le Bourget can sample the delights of flying such aircraft themselves. On the Sukhoi stand (Hall 4, Stand G15) a Su-35 flight simulator creates a realistic atmosphere not to be taken lightly by those prone to air sickness.
The sample Su-35 is a visuals-only simulator, but despite the lack of movement, the visuals are sufficient to get the adrenaline going. Those volunteering to sit in the cockpit should have had some experience in flying an airplane, if embarrassment is to be avoided by an irresistible force meeting an immovable object; i.e., the ground.
