The multi-mission MiG-29 fighter entered service in 1982. It is designed to destroy aerial targets, as well as ground targets using both, guided and unguided munitions. In order to carry out training missions the two-seater version was developed, too.

For aerial targets the MiG 29 is fitted with “air-to-air” guided missiles, while for ground objects aviation bombs and rockets can be deployed.

      In dogfights the MiG 29 features certain advantage over the American F-15C, it exceeds another US fighter F-16 by 15% and has got a 40% advantage over the French Mirage-2000.

     The unique MiG-29 fighter will let you get dramatic impressions and a lot of adrenaline while performing normal and advanced aerobatics maneuvers. This fighter is on the air-force inventory list in 26 countries.

    Flying the MiG-29 jet fighter may be recommended to those clients who “like it hot”.

    The flight envelope provides for various aerobatics maneuvers – from standard to most advanced, depending on one’s physical condition. There are two flight envelopes available for the MiG-29, which mostly differ in the duration of flight – 25 minutes and 45 minutes.

    Maximum acceleration a client can experience during the flight may reach 7-8G with the minimum of 3-4 G.

    It should be noted at that, that the flight envelope is quite flexible and it’s architected by the pilot depending on how the passenger feels. If the client feels well and composed during the aerobatics demonstration, the pilot will continue their performance then. If the passenger does not feel well, the flight will be diverted to a steady non-accelerated level flight letting the client pick-up oneself.

   One should not get scared thinking that it is only young and physically strong men who can stand such a flight. We have substantial experience of organizing such flights for 65-year olds, as well as for women, who withstood all the G-loads well and were enjoying the flight indeed.
