Sukhoi Su-29 Training

Post by Adam Oke »

Does anyone know where I can get my mitts on a Sukhoi in the States? I would prefer a location somewhere along the drive from SW Ontario to Florida. Either for a ride, informal, or formal training. It doesn't matter. The Sukhoi is one of those planes on the "must fly list" for me.

I might point out that since a Sukhoi is NOT
a certified aircraft - and likely flying with a
Experimental/Exhibition special C of A in the
USA - it is totally illegal for anyone to charge
for flight training in it without a FAA "Letter of
Deviation Authority". This is not easy to get!

Thanks for the reply CS. For some reason, I didn't even think twice about it's C of A. If you have any friends down south that need a ballast in exchange for gas and oil, feel free to PM me!

Thanks Jamesel. I might have to bookmark that one for when I do a trip to the west coast.

Having been fortunate enough to have had a ride in a Sukhoi 29, I can say that if you can find one....do it. It was an absolute blast. If I had a chance again, I would be in the front seat before the pilot even finished asking if I wanted a ride :mrgreen:

Here are some pictures, that is me grinning from the front seat. Jerz, you may recognize that guy in the back getting strapped in :wink:
