The Planes

Sukhoi SU-26M

The Sukhoi SU-26M was designed and built in Moscow by the Sukhoi Design Bureau: the principal supplier of fighters, bombers and attack aircraft to the Russian military. The SU-26M combines a 360-400 HP nine cylinder radial engine with a composite and titanium airframe to create an aircraft capable of hovering in place, reaching 280 mph and handling more G forces than an F-16. In this aircraft, the pilot becomes the limiting factor of what can be demonstrated. The Sukhoi is the most sought-after competition aircraft in the world.

Supermarine Spitfire

The Supermarine Spitfire first flew in 1936, with it's last operational flight in April, 1954. In 24 variants, it became the most famous fighter aircraft involved in the Battle of Britain. It served in reconnaissance, low-level ground attack and high level air superiority fighter roles. The Russell Group Spitfire MK. IX was produced for Supermarine Aviation Company by Castle Bromwich in 1944. After comprehensive restoration by Historic Flying, Ltd. in Duxford, England, it took to the skies for the first time in 47 years on September 8th, 2000. It is has been heralded as the finest flying Spitfire in existence. It shares a hangar with a Messerschmitt BF-109 (with the extremely rare Daimler engine), a Hawker Hurricane MK XII, and a North American Harvard MK IIB. These aircraft comprise Ed Russell's superlative Battle of Britain Collection. The Russell Group is located in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
