How To Enjoy A Jet Fighter Ride

Many of us have already seen a jet fighter in the air. Almost in every country you can find some jet fighters, often they are participating on airshows. There you might see all kind of fighters, but they aren’t all together that spectacular. Some of them are fast, some are versatile. The king of the fighter jets is he Russian Mig-29!

Because of his high maneuverability and the possibility to fly supersonic speeds, man air forces are operating it. But for the normal folk it’s often just a dream to fly mig-29. Even if there are a lot of mig-29 around, there are just a few people which had the chance to fly mig. Most of them belong to the air force where it isn’t something special to have several mig flights in the logbook. But if you don’t belong to the crew of an air force which operates the mig-29, there is almost no chance to fly mig-29. But almost doesn’t mean there is no chance, like the history of Zoltan Horvat shows:

I was dreaming about flying a fighter jet since several years, when I saw a Mig-29 at an airshow in Kecskemet. I was regularly in the air with different aircrafts, but only the common ones from Piper up to Airbus, always as a passenger, except for some flight lessons on the Cessna 172. Every time I saw somewhere a fighter jet I hought about how it would be to fly a fighter jet such as the mig-29. But long time I didn’t knew there are any possibilities to fly mig 29. I always tried to find a possibility for a mig flight, but nobody wanted to offer mig flights.

Once when I almost gave it up to search for mig flights I heard about the possibility to fly mig-29 in Russia. I then immediately started to search for mig flights in Russia. Suddenly I found an offer from MiGFlug to fly mig-29.

After dreaming so long from a mig flight I got one from my wife as a Christmas gift. It was such a wonderful feeling to fly mig. It was really amazing how fast and vertices this jet might be. So my dream about to fly mig-29 became true. As far as I know it’s the only place to fly mig. So you just can book mig flights only there unfortunately. But it’s the trip really worth to go to Russia just to fly mig-29. And Russia is a very beautiful country too, so you might enjoy other things in this country as well as just the mig flight with the mig-29.

As you can read, it’s not impossible to fly mig-29, even if there aren’t a lot of places for a mig flight. So if you search for the ultimate experience gift, why not a mig flight?
