Can I have one? (You can keep the weapons)

[BitnikGr]

@Carnuss They offer 1 hour flight per 10-12.000$ in Russia :)

[MatoVuc]

does part 2 have anything to do with the MiG-35 upgrade?

[BitnikGr]

@MatoVuc No. It speaks about MiG-29M, MiG-29SMT, MiG-29M2 and MiG-29K.

The Mig-29 is a fine aircraft, but it still depends upon whom is in the cockpit.

[BitnikGr]

@n74jw Is there any plane which doesn't depend on who is in its cockpit? :)

[Carnuss]

@BitnikGr :)

[stasnov]

Its a beautiful plane.

[MatoVuc]

the maneuver at 4:47 - 4:52 is fucking amazing

@pokemon5615 The so called "integral layout", where wings and fuselage create additional lift surface was implemented at least in F-16 and SU-27 before MiG-29.

MiG-29 sure had some features that Western planes hadn't in term of weapon systems for next 9 years.
