Jokes aside, it appears they still build tough ass airplanes.

Ahhhh 737ski. Is good jet, no?

Pilot spilled his vodka on short final leading to unstable approach...

Bust out the speed tape.

Ahh yes, the Sukhoi Regional Jets or SRJ's that everyone in the cockpit is talking about. They're competing directly with the Mitsubishi Regional Jets or MRJ's! Fan-fooking-tastic.

I don't think this incident had anything to do with design flaws in the aircraft unless the Russians somehow decided to omit a gear warning system. Initial reports point to crew error. Kudos to Sukhoi for building an airframe that, despite whatever other shortcomings it may have, can absorb a gear up landing nearly as well as a T-37.

Yes...wait, no?

Embrear 175/195ski. Sukhois shot at the MRJ market.
