In 2006, the "Falcons of Russia" display team was founded at Lipetsk, best known as the type conversion and flight training center of the Russian Air Force. They mostly operate specially decorated SU-27s, such as this blue camouflaged SU-27SM.

Sukhoi Su-27SM Flanker-B

Designed by the Soviet Union to challenge the superiority of fourth generation US fighters such as the F-15 Eagle, the Su-27 was first flown on May 20, 1977. This one seat Mach-2 fighter had the Soviet Union's first operational fly-by-wire system. The aircraft is very large compared to the MiG-29, its closest Soviet counterpart, but it is built with a high percentage of titanium, which helps minimize its weight. It is exceptionally agile and is perhaps most famous for its "Cobra" maneuver, which is a short, sustained level flight at a 120 degree angle of attack, often performed at air shows.
