The ONLY Mig-23 Flogger flying in the United States is based out of New Castle, DE. It made an appearance at the DEANG 60th anniversary airshow held at the airport. The pilot was limited to passes at 900 feet or above due to FAA regulations, but just seeing and hearing one made it worthwhile. This clip shows the takeoff and shutting down.

  • Hell yes. Awesome vid plus no music to cover up the sound. The boom of the afterburner kicking in is all the music I need.

    I'm American, and I've always thought the Mig-23 is beautiful. Unfortunately, we don't get to see foreign (especially Russian) aircraft that much. All you guys from other countries need to upload more vids! Preferably without music.

  • When the afterburner ignites you can see the aircraft literally being punched forward!

    It's said that it can go as fast as 900kts at very low altitudes and be the fastest single engine fighter, which is unbelievable for it's age...!

    Superb vid of this aircraft!

  • jet fighters are on of the most incredible machines ever developed

  • @hectiky Dude.. are you kidding? You must not go to air shows, man. We got LOTS and LOTS of foreign aircraft here! Not flamin' or nothing. Just one MiG fan to another. At my home field, we have 2 CJ-6A's and an L-39.

    North America is the place to be to see awesome warbirds. Australia is a pretty close second, from what I've heard.

  • if you want to know more about what us pilots thought about the 23 , look up excerps from the book "red eagles" on the google book search. and browse through! very interesting a real dangerous ship by all accounts if not treated right.

  • Excellent video with good sound, What an awesome plane!

  • Man i love afterburner of this plane xDDDD

  • Ah the Mig-23....NATO callsign...The Drone.....LOL!!

  • I like the red star on the tail.

    paint it in camo scheme and you can go around playing pranks on NATO pilots ;)

  • Mmmmmm................Lovely beast.

  • An F-4 rival. An extreme set of all the highest technologies of it's time like an F-4 and same poor combat record.

  • Beautiful!! Really nice footage and amazing plane!
