Thanks for watching everyone! What’s your favourite fighter jet of all time?
Probably the F 1-11....
But, to be fair, it's because I loved their " dump and burn" , and watching their wings move back into the Delta formation for high speed flying
F-4 Phantom Jet... mostly because I built a model with my Dad when I was a young whippersnapper and it hung from my ceiling in my bedroom. I'm guessing I went to sleep looking at it for years.
F-5N Tiger II
I would say either the F-15 Eagle or Su-37 Flanker
I’d say theMcDonell Douglas F-15 Eagle that first flew in 1976! IT ROCKS I LOVE THE F-15!! 😊
I remember the reason for carrying such a low number of cannon rounds was that the IRST "ball" also contained a laser rangefinder. This measured the range and angles to the target and the cannon would only fire when a hit was highly probable, cutting down on ammunition wastage.
Oh man! My favorite jet from when I was a kid! I love all your tours; really brings back great memories of air shows with my father.
Mine was the F14
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is one of those planes that I ended up hovering around for awhile, while at the museum. So cool to see one in person.
Even cooler now that the only SU-27 in America is on display next to it
I was 13 when the Berlin Wall came down and I remember my dad telling me at the time that the west was shocked by how advanced the helmet mounted sighting system in the Mig-29 was when they got hold of it from East Germany. There was also much talk of how rugged and relatively low maintenance the aircraft was compared to western counterparts. It was said that it could be landed wheels up in a field, lifted up by a forklift, landing gear deployed and take off again. I’m not sure how true that is
Unfortunately the engines would be toast, as would most stuff that sticks out the bottom of the airframe. Depending on exactly how rough the field is the radome and radar would probably take a pretty severe beating as well.
The ruggedness of the Soviet era aircraft is actually quite remarkable though. That being said, in a former life I was lucky enough to work on a couple of different US platforms operated outside the US. After looking over a few US operated versions though, I realised how risk averse we were. The US platforms were in a much worse shape compared to ours but seemed to operate just fine and at extremely high tempo.
Yes. To lock a target, all you need is to look at it.
Believe it or not, the helmet to missile linked system was first developed by South Africa during the late seventies/early eighties as result of their border war in Namibia against Soviet backed Cuban forces. I know because I was … there.
@@johnlamp820 I actually had no idea that the systems had been around that long. Very interesting.
Another excellent video Paul. MiG-29 is one of my favorites. Great looking aircraft. 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it
You have to hand it to the Russians/Soviets, they build beautiful jets.
не только красивые и очень эффективные, Российская техника тем и отличается от западной что она проста в использовании , крайне эффективна и доступна по цене,ничего лишнего.
@@user-uc8hr9qg3uНу молодец. От скромности не умрёшь :)
@@AleksYurchenko причём тут скромность когда речь о правде?
From the prospective of my own experience in Russia 1975 - 2028 (oil & gad)most equipment may look the part but will be substandard. Hence need to import technology. Seen lots of Russian military’s equipment Africa, North Africa, Russia, the ‘Stans’ & South America mainly broken down or abandoned. Numerous bad experences of travelling in Russian helicopter’s 😊 south Russia, Siberia & Sakhalin. This is not to say that Russia engineer & produce high tech equipment, I just don’t know what it is😊
@@joebannon9443It's cost cutting and equipment being rushed out so less testing
Really cool , seeing that MIG up close. Rhanks Paul
One of my favorite parts of the museum is its collection of MiGs and Russian aircraft, the museum has every MiG from the 15-29 except the 27 and they now have 2 Sukhois, hopefully one day we’ll see them add the MiG-25 and SU-22M4 restored and added to the collection on display
Agreed! Sadly I missed the latest Su by a few weeks but I'm sure I'll get back. The media lady joked "I'll see you next year" when I last left :)
@@PaulStewartAviation well hopefully when you make it back the Streak Eagle and X-32 will be on display, they are both supposed to be finished and just waiting to be brought over.
yes those too! I'm especially keen to see the X-32!! @@HankyInTheTanky
@@PaulStewartAviation same, it’s an ugly duckling but I’m excited to see it next to the YF-23, maybe if your lucky they’ll have the XR-8 done as well, from there videos it’s coming along nicely as well
@paul Stewart that is a beautiful designed jet Paul,lovely video! thanx so much.
Beautiful plane. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks, will do!
Thank you so much for your videos! They are my favorite way to learn about different airplanes that I grew up fascinated by. I have been to the Dayton museum several times, but learn more from watching your videos than I have just wandering around myself, reading plaques. I wish you success with this channel!
thank you! Many more videos coming! :)
Absolutely GORGEOUS bird!!😍
I'm glad you could get to Wright-Patt. I am spoiled with this being right next door. Getting your perspective along with the history is fantastic.
Yes I was very grateful to visit there again and be allowed to film over the barriers too. They were very kind to me.
Incredible video Paul.
Sport car of Fighter jet category. (Fast , Agile ,Beauty , Insane thrust :weight ratio)
Perfect for Private own collection.
This thing with Romania blue camouflage is look insanely cool.
Thank you for covering the history which I didn't know about my favourite jet.
My fave UA-camr
I love your steady camera work and thorough research you put into your narration
Wow, thank you!
AWESOME! I know it’s un-American of me but the MIG is a FANTASTIC JET especially given the crappy technologies and circumstances the USSR had when they built it but it is an EPIC JET!
Cheers 🥂 mate
What a great video although the F-15 Eagle is pretty EPIC too! 😊
Mig 29 is beautiful airplanes
No its not un American. Its how you got brainwashed by your govt since 1945 that America will always have Russians as their enemies. Russians had to react to that and become an enemy eventually cause it wasnt Russians but Americans who kept pushing buttons to poke the Russians throughout history. Russians dont see Americans as their enemies.
russian fighter jets are objectively more beautiful than american fighter jets
but american fighter jets have overpowered combat capabilities
@@SonOfTheChinChinНе превосходят.
"given the crappy technologies" - crappy is just your typical murican ignorance and education.... no wonder, tough, since you guys get feed from young age with BS and most of you are brainwashed from childhood !
here, to educate you about russian "crappy" tech:
1 - First PESA radar fitted in a fighter jet - URSS, many years ahead of the US
2 - HMS (helmet mounted sight) - many years ahead of the USA !
3 - ejection seats for helicopters ( not even now US is able to equip its helicopters with such a device, lol...)
4 - fastest ever nuclear submarine, build entirely from Titanium .... and the list can go on, so you may want to educate yourself and learn the simple facts, like the russians (soviets) were ahead many years in certain fields compared with the West and US.
Like they are now again, years ahead, in cruise missile hypersonic tech.
US is on decline, and they loose terrain each year to the chinese and russian tech, hard to swallow but.... you need to be realist, dude. The "golden age" for murica is over. Enjoy your "diversity" !
Jarad Isachman’s MIG29 is 👌🏻 I saw him rip it around at Oshkosh last year.
As always a great vlog Paul
Thanks 👍
Great video Paul! This reminds me that I need to visit this museum.
You should!
Nice one, Paul. Thank you very much.
Very welcome
Fantastic, Paul 🙂
Many thanks!
Beautiful aircraft and deadly in the right hands.
Great explanation
Glad you liked it
I will always remember seeing a formation of them passing over me and dropping flares, in the Ukrainian Independence Day, over Kiyv in 2018. The aircraft is small and elegant but quite smokey, unlike the Sukhoi 25 and 27. The SU-24 was quite smokey too...
Nice one mate 👍
Thanks 👍
I indeed enjoyed the video and I indeed gave it a thumbs up
Much appreciated
Great video sir
Thanks
Very rugged and very good. Americas fighters are princesses that can't get dirty, but superior equipment.
hey Paul! new footage - we had planned to go to Wright Patt but didnt get to
Cool!
enjoyable 爱上usual Paul！
FANTASTIC PLANE
I’ve enjoyed the several videos of Jared Isaacman’s MiG-29 doing his air show routine
After reading some of the comments I would like to say I was the chief engineer of the Mig 29😊
Thanks
No problem
My favourite fighter jet, just imagine loading this thing with modern tech, reworking the frame with composite materials, making the body more smooth...Would be a nice project, I think characteristics would improve dramatically.
Такой проект уже есть. Миг-35 называется.
Great looking aircraft, The aircraft museum a RAAF base Williamtown is worth a visit they have a MIG 21 on display thanks Paul cheers Bob.👍👍👍👍🍺
Sounds great!
@@PaulStewartAviationAnd the sandwiches in the cafe are pretty epic.
@@thelandofnod123 When i go there i always have lunch.😋🥩🍔
@@robertcoleman4861 That my friend is a very good plan.
Thanks Paul. I always loved the MiG-29. Now if you can find a rare MiG-242....
haha yes I'd love to do a few more Soviet jets. I think that Dayton also have a Mig-25 they're restoring and the Mig-31 would be incredible to see in the metal.
Yeah man!
Mig29m my Favorite het fighter, very legend mig29 Malaysia
still find it interesting that despite the crude construction of the mig, both the mig and f16 have a similar rcs.
You are the #1 ..
G in MiG must be capital. MiG is an acronym representing two last names - Mikoyan and Gurevitch.
Thanks for the correction. I'll update this now.
45 years of MiG-29 in 2022 - the star of Ace Combat series.
We in Malaysia love mig-29, to use mig-29 is legendary to our country, last year the mig-29 was retired from the Malaysian army, because the maintenance cost is too high and difficult due to the role Russia and Ukraine war Malaysia can no longer afford to repair the mig-29 fighter jet, Russia offered to exchange the mig-29 aircraft with Sukhoi, but Malaysia refused, Russia really wants it Malaysia's Mig-29 because Russia still has a lot of Mig-29, Malaysia rejects Russia's offer because Malaysia modifies the Mig-29 itself ,Malaysia has done various modifications to the mig-29 aircraft, Due to the secrets of Malaysia's secret military, Malaysia rejected Russia's offer, even though Malaysia had to retire the mig-29
I see Australian Practical Engineering guy, I click🤣👍 I remember that this was one of the planes offered to my country during the 1990’s. Unfortunately, we had to cancel the plan for buying any fighter due to the 1997 Asian financial crisis, sticking to the F5A’s. We did replace in recently with FA50’s which have proven themselves in precision bombing.
I made a similar on topic comment before! So true
When these were pitted against the American F-15's in Desert Storm, they had no AWACS coverage and were shot down in droves and had to flee to Iran for safety. I'm sure in a close in 1vs1 engagement they would be very capable, but modern air combat is about so much more than just a close in dog fight. The Mig-29 has been around a long time, but it's combat record is just not any good.
The F-15 pilots would still be better trained so it still wouldn't have done well.
👍👍👍👍👍
From what I've seen actually regarding the export model MiG-29, they actually don't seem to be that limited compared to the version the USSR/Russia used (comparing the very first MiG-29A variant which is the variant that has seen the most combat I believe). I think most of the high loss rate comes from the MiG-29 usually being unlucky enough to be operated by countries that bit off a lot more than they could chew in war, especially seen in the Gulf War and Yugoslav Intervention where the rather small number of MiG-29s were fighting a massive Coalition that outnumbered them massively and also had probably bombed most of their supporting infrastructure like ground radars out of working order. Some other aspects I think regarding their worse performance was maybe lack of the R-73 (which is something Iraq lacked at least) which was the very effective missile that used the pilot's HMD to lock onto targets and maybe also poorer pilot training.
Darn good looking design. I always thought the MiG-29 (and Su-27) really had masculine good looks and were warrior aircraft to go and blow stuff up. To me, the F-16 was almost pretty and the F-15, curvaceous - although deadly as frak…kinda like the Black Widow :) I really thought the Russian models were just aerodynamically superb looking, so unusual for a country that usually seems to go all out on function with no thought of form.
Favorite jet? Mmmm, the Starfighter.
Adding fbw is not a small upgrade
Is there a reason for the green wheels? It so abrupt
Could you make a video of how the British tailplane design for making sure the controls didn't lock up as aircraft approached Mach 1 was given to the Americans by the British governent and then it appeared on the Bell X1 which broke the soundd barrier?
Interesting! I hadn’t heard that. I did ask the Smithsonian if i could film the bell x-1 but they said no
first plane to do a Cobra?
The inside of Soviet jets was painted green because that colour is considered "pleasant for the eye, thus decreasing the strain on the pilot". Is that claim true? Don't know...
What is the difference between a MiG-29 and the mig-35 If any?
Serbia was under sanctions at the time, which means that the planes had not been serviced for more than 10 years, The second and no less important fact is that Serbia was attacked by 1,200 aircraft from all NATO countries, which means that at any given moment there were about 300 NATO aircraft over Serbia! Serbia had 16 MiG-29s and despite all that, the pilots still decided to take off and try anything to save the population, unlike air defense pilots, officers had a somewhat easier task, so at that time we saw the first shooting down of the F 117 with the S 125 Neva air defense system from the 70s, which shocked NATO pilots.
Cobra manouver!
how US get this aircraft?
This plane kept Americans up at night.
why the wheel rims are all painted with this green?
Most Sexiest aircraft ever built hands down !!!!
The 4th generation Russian aircraft has the design of a hypersonic aircraft. if instead of a turbine you install direct-flow engines
@7:45, I think you meant F-16 rather than the F-15 when talking about MIG design bureau using a “single engine, like the F-15.”
Ops I certainly meant to say that the F16 was the lightweight and single engine fighters
@@PaulStewartAviation no worries, it happens. 😉✌️
@@PaulStewartAviation Verbal typo :D
I think all Russian cockpits look better with the aqua color.
Their backbone is the Sukhoi series not the Mig
The MiG 29 is one of the most beautiful Soviet fighter designs IMO. I like the Sukhoi jets too but the MiG 29 is gorgeous. It was a departure from the butthole looking planes that came before.
Indian Air force 👌 still using this aircraft grt
at 1:19 that mig 29 model has aim-7 sparrows on it, very cursed.
Did you film this at the Dayton Ohio museum?
Yep
@PaulStewartAviation it's such an awesome place. Huge facility filled with amazing planes.
you showed the cockpit of a pilatus PC21 instead of the one of the Mig35
Really?
@@PaulStewartAviationLooks like it.
A Google lens search showed that a couple of news outlets had also used the same image for the MiG-35 as well as the HAL HTT-40.
The MiG-35 cockpit is quite different (although understandably similar in layout), the biggest give away is the lack of the windscreen bow as the PC-21’s entire canopy opens sideways.
Never understood why Russians still havent perfected the body panel alignment and smoothness on their jets. Seems like this outer layer bent hammered on the frame.
They would have done it if they felt they needed it
Id like to know if the Ukrainians had any 29s from pre-USSR breakup
Not many left now unfortunetly
MiG = Mikoyan + Gurievitch
Thanks for the correction. I'll update this now.
Nato intervention in Kosovo: if you saying something, say it correctly. That was not nato (small letters) intervention in Kosovo, that was illegal and criminal action of 3 months bombing of whatever is left of former Yugoslavia at that time. True, number of Mig 29s were shot down at that time in very unfair 'combat'. They took off from Belgrade air base which is central Serbia, not Kosovo, which is south Serbia. Mig 29's, that 'short' Yugoslavia had, were in very bad shape and some debate is was it heroic or suicidal to confront that many nato planes which also had a tremendous support. So that is nothing to 'brag' about or even worth mentioning. It is like comparing grown man beating up 5 yr child.
Ok
NATO/OTAN (All capitals, it’s an acronym chosen by the organisation, not lower case).
UN, again all capitals, sanction was not granted because of Russia and China’s veto power (surprise surprise). NATO decided to stop the ethnic cleansing of ethnic Albanians anyway, or is your argument that this should have been allowed to continue.
Anyway, as the saying goes, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Problem for mig 29 losing to f15 and 16 is its lack of upgraded avionics . They fought against technologically superior airfoce ans non of the migs operating countries upgraded them using their own tech like Isreal does
I’d say the SUKHOI is the backbone… the MIG-29 in RUSAF service not as important 😮 the Mig-31 however is very much used contrary to pre ‘war/smo’ theory 😮
"Single engine, for better maneuverability, like F35..." 😂😂😂 - what you smoke, dude ???
Ummm bro he said f15 he didn't even say 35 but I think he meant f16 cause it has one engine f15 has two. But you ain't got to bee a dick and be wrong dumbass see how does it feel stupid. Good I can't stand you stupid ducks rather than help someone by saying hey man I think you meant whatever the fuck you Said that was wrong. So next time instead of listening to something and trying to be a dick and think you owned someone when really sir your the dummy. And I'm from Louisiana and maybe have a lil compassion
Just needed a larger fuel tank, better radar, tactical link and one more screen to be amogst the best 4th gen. The updates came 20 years too late... Shame!
It is quite crudely put together. The quality control looks pretty poor. Besides that, the Mig 29 is a beautiful looking design. In many respects its performance is superior to the F 16.
It’s not the backbone of the russian airforce but yeah ok
Soviet engineers took the blended wing/LERX from the F-16, and the lifting body pancake from the F-14. None of these things were secrets in the late 1970s
From 50 meters away it's a beautiful plane, up close it's a battered pile of scrap.
I wouldn't want one of those. They tend to blow up both in mid-air AND on the ground.
0 stealth with those upper inlets louvers😅
Terors America and ingiltere Israel
Ok
Another Armenian creation
A pure masterpiece
Good job
