I’ve flown in all kinds of aircraft — military and civilian — but nothing prepared me for this: taking the controls in the only privately-owned MiG-29 Fulcrum on Earth. This is the closest most people will ever get to a Cold War-era dogfighter, and I’m still wrapping my head around the experience.
From jaw-dropping acceleration to the roar of twin engines at altitude, this was part aviation dream, part Soviet rocket ride. Come along as I take you through every moment — from briefing to (nearly) blacking out at high Gs.
Oh yeah, there is some helicopter stuff too....
