Sukhoi Superjet 100 Into Cat III ILS Testing

Even though these tests are typically performed in clear weather, they can still be very much a white-knuckle experience.  As a guy who performed some of the original Automatic Terrain Following tests during F-16 / LANTIRN integration testing, it is never boring to have an airplane take you close to the rocks in a new autonomous mode.  Great work!
