The SU-27 is an amazing piece of kit. It was awsome to watch at airshows, it's a real crowd pleaser. Sure the F-15 is ok, but the F-15 jocks don't like to get to ...

And now my question: When you chase a fighter asuming he is at 20000 ft, how do you manage the speed(corn.vel) ? Keeping the speed close to 440 ? I've ...
