It's a pretty place in the summer, way to miserable in the winter. I flew in there once many years ago during a "mountain check ride" for a commercial pilot's license.

Are you ready to fly!!

This is a video of an in-flight demonstration flown by the Russian SU-30MK fighter aircraft. You'll not believe what you are about to see. The fighter can stall from high speed, stopping in less than a second. Then it demonstrates an ability to descend tail first without causing a compressor stall. It can also recover from a flat spin in less than a minute. These capabilities probably don't exist in any other aircraft in the world today. Go to web site below.



Take a look at the video with the sound up:
