As part of the unique Fleet Week San Francisco 2025 air show, which takes place from October 10 to 12, the Sukhoi Su-26 aerobatic aircraft will fly over San Francisco.
The world's only civilian aerobatic team flying Sukhoi aircraft will perform in the skies above the water area located between the famous Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz Island — the Randy Howell and Kory Lovell duo flying Su-26 aerobatic aircraft.
The aircraft, known for its exceptional ability to spin and barrel roll, will become a living embodiment of grace and precision in the hands of experienced pilots. Nesterov loops, Immelman turns, mirror flights — each element of the program will be a test for the pilots and a triumph of Sukhoi's engineering.
The Su-26 is a single-seat aerobatic aircraft developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It is designed to participate in world and European championships and other major aerobatic competitions, as well as for demonstration performances at aviation festivals.
