CNN - Incredible Adventures since 1993

Love at First Flight
The year was 1993. A young American entrepreneur was in Moscow, recruiting computer programmers for his new software company when a guy named Andrey offered him a flight in a MiG-29. It was a case of "love at first flight". He signed a deal to market the flights worldwide, returned home to Florida and founded MIGS etc.
After renting an office and hiring staff, an ad was placed in The Wall Street Journal, introducing the world to high-performance flying holidays. Then he rushed back to Moscow to take another flight in a MiG, becoming the first of many jet flight addicts.

Fly a MiG-29 at Mach 2.3 in Moscow. Yes, Really!
Media interest in the new company was high from day one. The cold war was over but travel to Russia to fly a MiG was, and remains, a lifetime thrill that many people dream about.
