well i decided to go to the chicago auto show on friday,and as i passed the rockford airport at 12.30pm ,i saw what i thought was a f-15 eagle fly by,except for the red star and the blue and grey camo,,well then i remembered the news article about there are 2 su-27 syukui fighters at the rockford airport and were for sale ,only $5mil each,,pretty cool looking
that's a steal considering that just the engine a GE f110 for a F-16 is 4.5mil

Just the thing for a true patriot to buy. I find military aircraft awesome.
I know we have better but more expensive, but hey buy home manufactured equipment
Russia is growing rich and powerful again. Not to be overlooked.
They already control a vast amount of Europe's gas supply.
As Georgia found out, argue with them and they turn it off.
Peace through strength.
And can the wise amongst you all enlighten me to who supplies Iran with its basic nuclear manufacturing equipment please

It is a competent aircraft with improving missile technology. A lot of countries are looking a budget aircraft, and this is one.
It is no slouch.
