Simonov also played a key role in winning lucrative contracts to sell Su-27s to China, India and other foreign customers.
"I will never forget the first display flight of the Su-27 in Paris, organized by the British Aerospace along with designers and test pilots of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, - recalls John Farlight - a fighter pilot in the Royal Air Force. - Victor Pugachev was turning his Su-27 360-deg in 10 seconds, the average rate of turn - 36 deg/sec. At that time we could only hope that our next-generation fighter could achieve 25 deg/sec. [1]
At a flight demonstrations of civilian aircraft, Mikhail Simonov said: âFighter jets are nothing; here is our future!â [2]
