Sukhoi Su-26 aerobatic aircraft to take to the skies over San Francisco

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.
