    that thing could probably land on the moon if they needed it to, good old soviet engineering!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Soviet engineering? The same that almost killed us in the 70s and 80s? Glad you're a fan. :roll:

    I've come to know this plane well. Uses the whole damn runway on landing, using it's obnoxiously loud reverse thrust the whole way.
