MIG-25 Flight TV

This is a TV documentary of my own made MIG-25 flight from the German television Pro7. It shows the preflight preperations for such a flight and the flight from a very special view. This was my first flight, done in 2004. This flight powered up the idea for the ongoing of Space Travellers, and after my flight some other customers done the same, they gone high as possible in altitudes between 23 and 25 km. My own flight reached a altitude of 27km.

The video is longer in original, but YouTube did not allowed videos more as 10 minutes, sorry ...

So ein Quatsch! Den Geschwindigkeits- und Höhenrekord hält die Lockheed Martin SR-71 Super Blackbird!

[SEL9000]

@Quarkbeidel: Hoffe, Du machst Deinem Namen nicht die Ehre, es ist, um in Deinen Worten zu sprechen, Quatsch was Du sagst: A few years later, on 31 August 1977, "Ye-266M" flown by MiG OKB Chief Test Pilot Alexander V. Fedotov, set the recognized absolute altitude record for a jet aircraft under its own power. He reached 37,650 m (123,523.62 ft or 23.39 miles) at Podmoskovnoye, USSR in zoom climb. Immer schön selbst informieren vorher, bevor man irgendwo was postet. Der Film ist von 2004.

haben die gesagt "hält den geschwindigkeitsrekord seit 8 jahren". das flugzeug ist doch schon uralt oder? wenn das 2004war dann wär der rekord seit 1996... das flugzeug ist aus den 70er jahren oder?

From Wiki:

Several records still stand, in particular, on 31 August 1977, an Ye-266M flown by MiG OKB Chief Test Pilot Alexander Fedotov, set the recognized absolute altitude record for a jet aircraft under its own power, reaching 37,650 m (123,523.62 ft) More than 37Kilometres!!!

Ich glaube, ich habe ein neues Vorbild!

:-))

MIG 25 jet fighter. SR-71 spy plane is. It can be compared with the Sukhoi T-4 Soviet Air Force in 1972. His speed with the SR-71 are almost identical. But T4 is not just a spy but also a strategic bomber.

What can I say but ..... wow!  What an amazing experience!

You are one very cool person, my friend, you actually go to some of the places that I can only reach for in my dreams!

[kovalik106]

compare prices 71 and mig 31!!! mig cheaper in once or twice!! pilots sr 71--pilots higher class, almost cosmonauts. and pilots moment 31 ordinary pilots!!!âàøè airplanes until now can not execute such aerial acrobatics as our!!

[assman12354]

@matatan69 yea but, like, the USA was never in a war with russia besides the cold war, and that pretty ended by the time of the sr-71, when would the russians or even another country which uses the mig-25 have shot a sr-71?

[matatan69]

@assman12354 Oh sorry, its true. every time the russians tried to intercept the SR-71 with missiles their rockets never worked. they just dropped down from the migs like lead blocks. Americans just laughed at them.

[assman12354]

where do you get that the sr-71 was shot at????

[matatan69]

@Furcifer77 , Well the SR-71 is the most feared aircraft by the russians,it was shot at thousands of times by mig-25, mig-31, mig-23- mig 21, mig-27 and never could be shot down because of its high speed, tremendous high altitude flight capabilities and low radar profile. and this all back in the sixties through the eighties. no wonder its the best aircraft ever.

@SEL9000 how did the engines work at such a high altitude? amazing!
