Eg:Los Angeles International airport is the seconf largest airport in the world. #2 Reagional. An airport that takes flights from around country/continent. Eg:Nanaimo Reagional isn't the busiest airport around, but it'll get you around the continent. #3 Local. The second smallest airport, usually has average facilities, only takes local flights. Eg:Qualicum Beach Local will take you as far as Vancouver and up-island, but thats it. #4 Airstrip. Smallest of all airports, usually doesn't have normal airport facilities and can take only small aicraft. Eg:Tofino Airstrip has no facilities, but planes do land there.

The true meaning to the word "ace" is as follows: A fighter pilot that has at least 5 air kills, when a pilot has shot down at least 5 enemy aircraft, a ceremony or party is then held, and he/she gets their "ace" wings.
Pilot #1- Look at that ace, he's getting all the glory.
Pilot #2- Just be happy happy he's on our side, he's one hell of an ace pilot!
Pilot #2- Just be happy happy he's on our side, he's one hell of an ace pilot!

Also called the "Terminator", it is indeed a terminator. The Su-37 is a highly advanced Russian aircraft, also the largest threat Russia poses to the rest of the world, as it could take down any other aircraft, can be modded for carriers. Three prototypes were made, one crashed, and the two others were made into Su-35 "Super Flankers". With Thrust Vectoring, 15 degrees in any direction, and canards, it is by far the worlds most manuverable fighter aircraft. With highly advanced avionics, rear facing radar, and a MASSIVE weapon load, the Su-37, sometimes called just the "37" can fire rear facing missiles, and has 14 hardpoints (places you can put weapons). Made famous by the popular game, "Ace Combat" in Ace Combat 04, the 37 is better then everyother plane except the X-02.
I was flying my F-15C Eagle and I got an Su-37 on my radar, I tired to evade it, but my far less superior Eagle was no match for the Su-37 and I got shot down within 1 minute.

The Sukhoi Su-30, a Russian twin seat fighter, is equipped with Thrust Vectoring and super advanced radar systems. Capable of carriing just about every weapon in the Russian Air Force it certinally is a firece aircraft. Although comparable to the American F-22A in it's flight dynamics, it isn't stealth, that one thing makes it inferior to the F-22A for if it had to go up against a Raptor, it would get it's ass handed to it by the Raptor from 50 km by an AIM-120 AMRAAM. Still a gorgeous aircraft, it is also the current aircraft of the Russian Air Force Demonstration team, the Russian Knights. India has another version called the Su-30 M/KI.
The Su-30 MKI found an American F-15C Eagle on it's radar, it locked it up and launched an R-77 Adder missile and destroyed the Eagle.
