Both Saturday and Sunday performances (June 21st and 22nd) are available in MPEG format. Clicking on the individual element listed in the right column will download this particular part of the Su-37 display. Note that some elements are grouped so that a single clip contain several elements.

Flown by Evgueni Frolov (Sukhoi's spelling), Su-37 put on most marvelous display I have ever seen and was the only one to trigger applause. Not even Rafale was greeted so enthusiastically by (mostly French) public.

On Sunday, June 22nd, full display routine was not flown because pilot was not able to retract aircraft landing gear. However Frolov carried out very impressive climb (1), vertical roll (2), 3/4 loop (3) followed by Cobra (4) with landing gear extended!!! Only after this he cancelled the rest of the display to a great disappointment of the spectators.

This unfortunate mishap will certainly cause a slight damage to hard to beat Su-37 image. Within hours French TV made a comment on Sukhoi team unable "do things right" and pointed out "obvious" superiority of Rafale. What they failed to notice, however, is that none of other fighters managed to came close to Su-37 display with gear down or up.

Curiously, the video shown at Sukhoi booth clearly depicted Su-37 doing double Somersault (aka Kulbit). This maneuver was performed at higher altitude than "plain" airshow version.
