Guys, sorry for the lack of twittererering today, it was rather busy with movements, my phone battery was low and I was trying all day to get onto our intranet to get exam results! Hopefully what I put up was of some use to you.
And yes, as mentioned the Ukranians did put on a "bit" of a show - absolutely outstanding!

Yep the SU27 did a superb take off, did a barrel roll straight after take off!
Great to see, well worth the trip just for that lol

A lot of people are saying the Su27 pilot was stupid for doing what he did so low. I've just watched a video of it and it was bang on 10 seconds after wheels up from the runway well high enough to do what he did, in full control and no pitch oscillations/altitude loss either. Certainly not as controversial as others are making out and certainly not "right after take off".
ll76 drivers looked as though they thought their rear wheels were indeed off the ground, they had been rotating for some time.... sadly not though!
