SU-27 Flanker on static display this weekend

[warbird1]

any word lately on the SU-27? thanks

They have both been sold. They left Rockford, IL in mid-June. That's about all I can say.

We sure miss 'em, but they now have about the best life that could be expected for planes of that type.

Did they both go to the same owner or different owners?

Will they continue to fly?
