As you may see, one Su-27 in formation is missing. While there is no official information there is an opinion it’s tail 08 of Oleg Erofeev who had to return to base due to some technical issues. It could affect whole team usual order to change… with all the followings.
At the end of the video Su-27 went for big circle while Strizhi got the scene for aerobatic. Then it all has happened.

And, of course, flight through the city of NY is something out of my mind.
