su-37's nato name is super flanker

saw those jetsdoing sumersaults and cobra manevuers like 6-7 years ago lol

yep .. even the F-16 can do that ... depending on the airspeed at the end of the run

you knwo .. when the F-15 Eagle came out ... the Aviaton people had to rewrite the Flying laws

the F-15 was the first ever aircraft which could break the sound barrier going verticle :shock:

^^^nope , the climbing is not that rare, the tail slide is, only a few jets can do it: the MiG-29, the Su-27 family, probably Typhoon and Rafale, never seen them do it though
