I've just been reading some advice from an aviation expert following several recent air crashes; 1. Never fly on a Russian aircraft; check! 2. Never fly with a pilot who appears intoxicated; check! 3. Never fly on an unknown carrier/operator's aircraft; check! Hmmm...........

Quote: English Electric Lightning: You don’t fly the Lightning like a conventional aeroplane – you strap her to your back and experience the thrust of the jet fighters. She’s a beauty, offering the incredible power and ‘g’s’ of the supersonic jet interceptor. Soon after take-off, you go vertical very quickly, and as you are climbing to 50 000ft, you break the sound barrier and marvel at the smooth and gentle handling of this heavy metal jet. At the apex o f the climb, you join the elite few who’ve seen the curvature of the earth from 50,000 feet. ......My Boy...... (PB #7)

MiG Unregistered M	17000 euro may be is high price but you will fly in the real combat jet fighter – legendary MIG-29 which is 100 % safer than civilian planes and you will have a flight in Sokol airbase where MiG fighters are produced.

Now, now, Stan - let's not be unfair here. The fact that Russians traditionally produce a ripple of applause at every landing has nothing to do with it!

I had arranged (through my job at the time) a similar trip some years ago, then someone went and started the first Gulf War and the thing got cancelled. Damn. Of course, if I win big enough, I want the full orbital trip... (meanwhile, I stay with my paraglider!) Don't get no respect! Coupe Fiat 1994-2000 - an owner's guide <-- clicky!
