Russian Sukhoi SU-30

Two of the coolest aviation photographs you can ever see. A Russian Sukhoi SU-30 fighter flying less than 2 meters off the runaway. You can't go anyway lower than that. Makes you wonder how the pilot can climb without a tailstrike. A thrilling moment and cutting edge shot of a 30 ton aircraft in cruising configuration but at grass altitude!

This photograph is awesome because it captures the grace and handling of the aircraft so well. The lack of a speed blur or flames from the afterburner almost makes the jet looks as if it was sitting on the runway.

A spectacular feat which confirms the fact that Russian pilots are still the best and the Americans have a long way to go. Absolutely breathtaking!
