Ukraine Air Force Mig-29 'Fulcrum' flown by Col. Volodymayr Kandaurov and Col.Nykolay Koval.
The Ukrainians perform the daring Tail Slide and Cobra maneuvers. The Tail Slide has the Migs: climbing until they runs out momentum, and then slide backwards tail first. The Cobra has the 'Fulcrum' climb; then nose over like a hooded cobra.
