Fly to the "Edge of Space" in MiG-29! Space Program in MiG-29 for tourists.

      Piloted by one of Russia's top certified test pilots, you will have a breathtaking take-off with afterburners blazing, and travel at more than twice the speed of sound. From the cockpit you will be able to observe the Earth from a tremendous altitude, up to 21 km, and look directly into the depths of space. 

     Confirm for yourself that the Earth really is a sphere, and touch the stars for an instant! You will be astonished to see the distinct boundary between the sky and space, the curvature of the Earth with a layer of white around it, then a blue band on the horizon and the sky becoming gradually darker. Feel the adrenaline rush as you reach the "Edge of Space" at supersonic speeds!

     MiG-29 flights - one of TOP-10 Worldwide Adventures! Fly with us to the TOP!

Despite the fact that the MiG-29 Fulcrum flights to the stratosphere as part of the Edge of Space program are fairly expensive, our customers have many reasons to participate in this adventure – the desire to challenge yourself, gain first-hand experience and marvellous impressions (recorded by video camera) thus distinguishing yourself from the people around you.

The unique combat fighter-interceptor MiG-29 gives you the opportunity to fly to the border of space, and as the practice of these flight arrangements shows, you will not experience G-loads and will be overwhelmed by the variety of impressions and pleasure. These flights to the stratosphere in Russian fighter-interceptors MiG-29 have been legally performed for over 10 years.

It does not take much time for a tourist to prepare for and enjoy the flight to the stratosphere in a MiG 29 – all necessary pre-flight preparations and the flight itself take about 3 hours at the Sokol air base.

The preparation for the flight to the Edge of Space program itself goes on for about half an hour. Tourists will discuss the flight program with the pilot, talk to the doctor about the state of their health, change into a high altitude suit and additional special equipment (oxygen mask, helmet, etc.). Customers will be briefed on the specifics of their MiG-29 fighter jet and inspect the main components and parts of the plane. Then they will be led to the cockpit as the aft pilot, familiarized with the main control instruments and briefed on the emergency procedures.

The Flight to the Stratosphere itself takes about 40 minutes from the moment you take off till the touch-down. During the flight you will fly to the altitude of 20-21 km and accelerate to the hypersonic speed of 2400-2500 km per hour. During your descent, high aerobatic maneuvers will be performed. The package is quite flexible and can be re-designed by the pilot, depending on your experience during the flight. You will have constant intercom connection with your pilot. Please do not assume that these flights are only for physically strong young men. We have substantial experience organizing these flights for 65-year old men, as well as for women of all ages, all of whom have coped well with all the different G-loads and loved the experiences.

Upon landing successfully, you will be given a personalized Certificate commemorating the flight and your participation, along with a photo-session with the pilot. If you have a flight book it will be filled out, describing the flight in a MiG-29 military fighter jet.
