I found this really cool diagram of the Su-30MKI Flanker over on RIA Novosti website. I think this is a beautiful plane, in the way that only Russian planes can be beautiful. I don’t know what it is about Russian planes, but they have this uniqueness to them that I find really enjoyable.

Oh yeah, before I forget, this post marks the beginning of a new series called “Fighter Fridays.” I’ll post a picture of a fighter aircraft on Fridays, instead of doing the podcast since I can’t seem to get a podcast out the door on time.

This is an Indian Air Force jet coming in for a landing at Nellis AFB.
