Inside an American MiG-29

  • Step into the cockpit of America’s only private, airworthy MiG-29. This aircraft is owned and flown by Jared “Rook” Isaacman as flagship of the Polaris Program’s Ghost Squadron. It is used primarily as an advanced training resource to provide Polaris Program astronauts with experience they will use on their missions. This MiG-29 can also be seen in the skies over America in air show performances that showcase precision flying and bring awareness to the team’s partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
    Jared's MiG-29 is the only airworthy, privately owned MiG-29 in the entire United States. It also stands out due to it being the two seat “UB” variant. This model was designed to train Soviet pilots how to fly the MiG-29 with an instructor so that they could eventually transfer to the single seat variant. The aircraft has been demilitarized so any weapon systems present are non-functional.
    Any inaccuracies in this video are purely a result of my own confusion.

    I saw this bird last summer at AirVenture Oshkosh 2023, it was an amazing airshow. The thunder from those RD-33 engines reverberates through your chest! Great performance and aerobatics, the G's must have been something to experience in the back seat! They did formation flying with a Mig-17 at the show too! The Mig-17's afterburner is quite unique with it's pulsing flame vs the Mig-29's smooth flame with thrust/mach diamonds extending outward.

    Could it be possible for a US corporation to copy the entire design of the MiG-29 (or Su-27) and build them in house? Granted it would be expensive, but you could build your own parts and contract off the airframes as aggressors.

      It’s possible, but the US has only suffered one air combat loss since Vietnam. Setting up an entire production line for a few op-for planes makes less sense than identifying something domestic with similar performance and using their tactics.

    In term of their construction quality and military performance, MIG-29’s are lackluster and inferior to Western aircraft just as every other modern Russian aircraft is, but, I cannot deny, just looking at it as someone who loves aviation, the MIG-29 is freaking awesome, I like flying them and other Soviet/Russian aircraft is games.

    God, even on a private plane there is a two-inch layer of sealant on the canopy-window, I expected that at least in the US they would understand that this is very unsafe
