SUKHOI26M

 

The best aerobatic plane in the world. 400 HP and weighing 700 kg, 30 years after its first flight, it is still “The King”. With more power and traction than any other, the main challenge is taming this brutal mount. Few manage it, but for those that do, the result is awesome.

Its maiden flight was in June 1984. Two other versions were produced, the twin seater Su-29 and the single seater Su-31.
