Revamped Cold War Jets takes you way past the adrenaline rush
The fury amid all the tension and hostility during the Cold War also produced an amazing array of jet-powered fighter aircraft of which two $5 million Russian Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker jets are on sale. This ultimate machine available will put you among the elite few who’ve seen seen the curvature of the earth from 57,000 feet. With a top speed of Mach 1.8, i.e. more than 1,300 mph, and with a thrust-to-weight ratio greater than 1:1, which means that it can accelerate while climbing straight up, the Sukhoi SU-27 can break the sound barrier for you to marvel at the smooth and gentle handling of this heavy metal jet. However, all this on the offer would sound absurd, if you don’t know how to fly the plane. But don’t worry, the company selling the restored planes also offers a training program for any prospective owner along with Western instrumentation, radios and GPS systems. So slip in your flying gear to get way past the adrenaline rush and we are sure it will be the maximum fun you can have with your clothes on.
