Privately owned Sukhoi Su-27's in the US

[kilo delta]

5 May 2009: During the past few months, Pride Aircraft has been keeping a big secret! But the time has come to share our secret with the world.

We're pleased to announce the arrival of the first pair of privately-owned Sukhoi SU-27 Flankers in the USA. Needless to say, these aircraft are worlds apart from most jet warbirds -- in size, performance, technological sophistication, and "wow-factor."
Pride Aircraft was picked to import, modify, assemble and certify these aircraft for their new owners.

Worked for me. The airplane looks new- a vast improvement over the -27s I've seen. Makes ya wonder where they came from...

In fairness, it's not only the Ukranians that are lapse when it comes to their nuclear arsenal.... http://www.user.dccnet.com/welcomewoods/Nuclear_Free_Georgia_Strait/greenacci.htm . Besides....it's the bio-weapons that i'd be more worried about.:isadizzy:
