Chutes You Sir - a photo on Flickriver

Chutes You Sir

            With chutes deployed, the incredible SU-27 (Flanker) lands at RIAT 2018 on day one of the air show following a fabulous flying display.

Colonel Oleksandr Oksanchenko (Grey Wolf) was a Ukrainian Su-27 Flanker fighter pilot who achieved worldwide acclaim flying his Flanker between 2013 and 2018. He flew at RIAT 2017 and 2018 where many of us had the pleasure of watching his amazing flying skills, and photographing his incredible aircraft. Shortly after flying at RIAT 2018, he retired from active duty. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine saw the Grey Wolf return to the cockpit of an Su-27 and take to the skies in defense of his country. Tragically, Ukraine announced that the famous Grey Wolf was shot down over Kyiv on the night of February 25, 2022. My heart goes out to his family and all our friends in Ukraine who are suffering at the hands of Vladimir Putin.
