However, when the aircraft was in front of it for longer than the maximum six seconds, the shield's water pipes exploded. The pilot, Pugachyov, reduced engine throttle, accidentally causing the detents blocks used to restrain aircraft from accelerating to retract and the fighter to move forwards.

The aircraft was quickly stopped; Pugachyov later took off without the use of blast deflectors or detents. Since then, a Kamov Ka PS search-and-rescue helicopter was flown close to the carrier in case of an accident. During the following three-week period, sorties were amassed, along with 35 deck landings. The first of two known versions of the Su, the twin-seat SuUB, made its first flight in April In , Sukhoi developed an updated version of the Su; flight trials began in October To adapt the original Su for naval operations, Sukhoi first incorporated a reinforced structure and undercarriage to withstand the great stress experienced upon landing, particularly quick descents and non-flare landings landings where the aircraft does not 'float' and slow its descent rate just prior to touchdown.
The MiGK can spend as much time as the Su on station by using external fuel tanks, but this limits its ordnance capacity.
The radar used, "Slot Back", has been speculated to have poor multi-target tracking, making the Su reliant on other radar platforms and airborne warning and control system AWACS aircraft like the Kamov Ka early-warning helicopter. The infra-red search and track IRST system is placed to provide better downward visibility.
The SuK entered service in the mids.
With the break-up of the Soviet Union, the Russian Navy was dramatically downsized, with many shipbuilding programmes stopped. Had Varyag , Oryol and Ulyanovsk been commissioned, a total of 72 production airframes would have been built; the early-airborne warning and MiGK would also have proceed, instead of being abandoned.
The first modernized aircraft was delivered as of September of the same year. The fighters were intended to be used with the fledgling Chinese aircraft carrier programme, with the former Soviet carrier Varyag as the centrepiece. At the sixth Zhuhai Airshow in late , Lieutenant General Aleksander Denisov publicly confirmed at a news conference that China had approached Russia for the possible purchase of Sus, and negotiations were to start in On 1 November , the Xinhua News Agency published the information on its military website that China planned to introduce the Su Sukhoi is working on a more advanced version, the SuK, a development to integrate the advanced technologies of the Su fighters into the older Su airframe.

India was also viewed as another potential operator of the Su On 15 November , Sukhoi Su fighter jets began conducting combat flights over Syria from Admiral Kuznetsov ' s flight deck in the ongoing Syrian civil war.

They can no longer contact anyone by radio. Farver finally decides to descend below the clouds: The crew realizes that they have traveled far back in time when they look out the window and see grazing dinosaurs. Their only hope of returning to the present day is to repeat the previous maneuver. With dwindling fuel supply, the plane increases altitude in an attempt to catch the same "freak jet stream" and to return to At first, it appears to work; after another flash of light, New York City is once again visible, and although they still cannot contact Idlewild, they are able to reach LaGuardia Airport.
However, the air traffic controller on the radio does not understand references to Idlewild or to current aircraft technology such as VOR , ILS and jet aircraft. The controller eventually clears the aircraft to land at La Guardia, but orders the captain to report to the Civil Aeronautics Administration CAA office afterward; one of the officers remarks that they haven't called the Federal Aviation Administration by that name in years.
Then a crew member spots the buildings and structures from the New York World's Fair below: Because LaGuardia's runway is too short to handle a Boeing , the captain decides not to attempt the landing, and instead to make another attempt to return "home" to before the plane runs out of fuel altogether. The Brontosaurus model and miniature jungle set from the film Dinosaurus! This episode was one of several Twilight Zone stories adapted as a graphic novel.
The adaptation expands upon the television episode, including a subplot involving several passengers and flight crew, as well as updating the story to occurring in It also adds a time jump to the future.
Serling originally developed the idea for the show when he learned that American Airlines had a mockup of a interior, previously used for flight attendant training, that they would make available to TV or film production companies. There was one anachronism: LaGuardia Airport, although it had opened in October and thus was open during the second half of the —40 World's Fair held in New York , was not officially named after Mayor Fiorello H. However, the nickname "LaGuardia Field" was in common use two weeks after the airport opened.
