Let's go fly a mig!

General Dynamics / Northrup Grumman F-14A Tomcat
Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet
Northrup Grumman EA-6B Intruder

Whichever is most capable of making me lose my lunch, that's the one I want to be strapped in to.

The winner then would be the F-14...

Here a sliver of information on it:
www.chinfo.navy.mil...

It's easy to find info on it though.

The winner then would be the F-14...

That's the one from Top Gun right?

Spiderj

My call sign could be Puker or Wet Spot or something

Yeah the one from Top Gun... Although mine would probably be FoxForce1 or something like that. FoxForce1 is my call sign for my job

Fine I'll be wetspot2 or captainbrowntrousers!

sorry but that's very old news!

they have been flying people for about 6 years now

still an interesting find u have to admit
if i could fly anything it would have to be the submarine spitfire those things kick some arse!

That was an interesting find. I sure would like to fly a Mig. An F-16 would be better but i would take any of them. If only I had the money.

If it hasn't been posted about then it's not old news to ATS. Please people stop posting this kind of stuff.

Maybe we should start a topic on what aircraft you have flown on??

I would love to fly a Mig, but I have had to settle for American aircraft instead.

What in the world is a submarine spitfire?

That should read supermarine spitfire.

really then the book lied to me
a spitfire? u must of heard of it!
the most legendary fighter of ww2
it and hawker hurricane won the battle for britain

Well for 12k, yeah it might be fun, but for 30 mins, that is a different story.

Hell if I had the chance I would fly to the end of the exosphere with or without the G-suit...

Shattered OUT...

That should read supermarine spitfire.

Okay, that makes more sense, but a submarine spitfire would be cool.

I've seen spitfires in world war 2 reels and films, thought it might be some new super spitfire.

hey! i'm not saying why the hell did you post it, I said that they have been operating for a long time now!

Just a quick note, Zhukovsky airbase where they used to operate flights was closed long time ago. Now Aircraft building plant Sokol in Nizhny Novgorod is the only place in the whole world where you can fly MIG fighters at supersonic speeds. Have a look at www.skyandspacetravel.com they have various flight programmes on MIG-29 and MIG-31.

damn only 12G's?! fly a Mig, stay for 5 days, sounds a bit too good. will have to look into that, would be a hell of a vacation.

if you are based in the UK you can try the guys at Go Russia and they will help you to arrange your MIG flight in Nizhny Novgorod, visit www.skyandspacetravel.com

I would love to fly on a U2! When they take off they go almost straight up after take off! The engines sound like the space shuttle taking off. That would be cool! Except during landing(which is done at night) is done in total darkness with all the lights on the runway off and only 2 cars guiding the plane in. Cool.
