Which incidentally means that chronologically the second one was taken first with the flight heading west.
J-16's cockpit, a bit larger and clearer:
J-16 being prepped by ground crew:
J-11B in formation somewhere over western China:
"Set me up COUGAR!" I think we're inverted,,, I'd love to get some stick time in these babies,, the overhead view shows that the flapperons are all "inboard",, yes flaps are always inboard, but ailerons are always outboard... so it seems a little odd to not have control surfaces running all the way to the tips..
but theres no doubt that the Flanker has outstanding low speed maneuverability.
Yes sir, all aircraft that have a possibility of having a "rear view" have a mirror, especially a fighter which should expect the bad guys to show up in that same mirror! so yes, aircraft that would benefit from having a rear view mirror, typically do,, my brothers Cessna has a rear view, and you can actually see quite a bit through it,,,
now many fighter aircraft have solid fuselage behind the cockpit,,, F-35 comes to mind, but the F-35s all aspect camera's allow you a 360 degree view, actually an all aspect view, you can even look through the floor and see an image, to a fighter aircraft, "situational awareness" is your world, and the F-35 will present that whole world to you in a way that you never dreamed possible..
But Flankers, F-15s, Fulcrums will all continue to rely one the good old "rear view mirror"......
There is no denying the flanker and it’s derivatives are one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed, love it.
