What you should know before the flight on MiG-29

So, the tickets are bought, clothes packed, and your excitement level is over top.

The day before the flight on MiG-29 you need come to Nizhny Novgorod city either by yourself, either accompanied by our representative (if you booked a 3-day to Nizhny Novgorod city or 5-day tour to Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod city).

Well, first of all, you should relax and take a deep breath — nothing is going to happen with you on the next day during the flight. Our flights are absolutely legal and safe. During almost ten years arranging the flights on MiG-29 we hadn’t have a single accident both in skies and on the ground! Your flight is insured for the flight time.

Take a break — do not overload yourself before the flight with excessive physical activity for you must be rested. We recommend you to sleep well before the flight day.

Do not drink alcoholic drinks before the flight! Alcohol may not only oppress your neural system, but also to raise your blood pressure, which is vital to those who suffer from high blood pressure. Not to mention that alcohol will blunt all impressions from the flight of your dream!

We recommend you not to eat fat food for breakfast – have a light meal. Overloads you experience during the flight may affect your vestibular apparatus in case if your stomach will be too full. Dont worry about overloards - before the flight the guest discusses with the pilot all the details of the flight program including the overloads for each maneuver which he will perform in your MiG-29 flight program.

Don’t forget to take changing clothes with you – after the flight you may want to take a shower and refresh yourself.

That is pretty much it. If you have any questions, you can read FAQ or send us the message via email or Jivosite.

Have nice weekends!

Who are our tourists for Mig-29 flights?

They all are different people: men and women, tall and small, slim and plump, young and aged. Lawyers, entrepreneurs, sportsmen, architectures, surgeons... They come from all over the world: USA, United Kingdom, Japan, Brazil, India, France and other countries. You would probably ask: what is common between them?

We can give answer to you: they all realized their great Dream – to have a ride in a real MiG-29 jetfighter. Although all of our customers are ordinary people, they love extreme, adventure, speed and, of course, aviation. That why they chose to perform a flight in MiG-29.

One of our Customers (no names, sorry), from Switzerland, for example, have been dreaming to fly on MiG-29 for 30 years. He easily passed our health requirements, and when he knew that during the flight a passenger could experience up to 6G’s overload, he had no worries about that — a former bobsledder in the past, he endured 4-5, even 8 G very well!

Another one from Sweden, who was very excited when he had realized that via our services he could legally perform fly trip to Stratosphere with a subsonic speed. The planned MiG-29 flight program “Edge of Space” became so important to him, that he had been working out for some time before his trip to Nizhny – he had been running, rowing, biking and practicing yoga!

Some of our Customers are pilots or have a piloting license. By the way, if you are a professional pilot, you can take your personal pilot log with you and we can add a special entry in it stating that you officially performed a training flight on MiG-29 fighter jet.

So if you ever wanted to experience a real flight in MiG-29 jetfighter, but didn’t know how and where you were able to do it, contact us. We will provide you with additional instructions about the booking process.

You can come to Russia not only to have a flight on MiG-29, but also to enjoy tours: 5-day tour over Moscow or 3-day tour over the city of Nizhny Novgorod.

Best adventure in Russia - jet ride in MiG-29

More than ten years “Country of Space Tourism LTD” is holding one of the leading positions on the tourism market of Russia. We offer not only traditional touristic services — sightseeing tours all over Moscow, Nizhniy Novgorod, Saint-Petersburg, Vladimir and other Russian cities, but also unique products — such as adventure aero & space tourism.

Air travelling has long been a routine, one cannot be easily amused by a trip on a regular civil aircraft plane. Have you ever dreamt to board a combat fighter jet, sweep over mountains and fields throughout clouds and then raise upwards, to the sun, in the Stratosphere, to witness the curvature of the Earth and Edge of Space?

Our company will help your dreams come true! We provide a unique opportunity to board a Russian combat jet fighter Mig-29, experience the exiting flight on it, and get new unforgettable feelings. We are closely partnering with Russian aircraft plant “Sokol” (City of Nizhniy Novgorod, Russia) that is now one of the major aircraft producing plants in Russia.

Our services are absolutely legal, for our company is operating on the basis of State Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. All our clients receive security insurance (1 million Rubles). Every year our Mig-29 fighter jets undergo technical inspection.

There are three basic programs for those tourists who dream to have a trip on board of jet fighter.

First one is called “Subsonic Aerobatic Experience in the MiG-29”. After finishing the medical inspection, safety briefings and learning basics, you board the double seated Russian jet fighter Mig-29. Mig-29 takes off, flies over the landscapes of Russia at subsonic speed and then perform aerobatic maneuvers which are “Inverted Flight”, “Hammer Head”, “Roll”, “Loop”, “Combat Turn” and others — they are discussable with your personal pilot. Only honored pilots make Mig-29 flights for tourists. The flights last for 25 minutes, including the take off and ending with a landing. The price is 11.500 EURO’s.

The second one is called “Aerobatic Experience with a Supersonic flight in the MiG-29”. You will be able not only to have a flight on subsonic speed, but also to enjoy full supersonic speed of a military jet fighter, just like in real combat. The duration of the program is 40 minutes. The price is 13.500 EURO’s.

The third is called “Edge of Space” & Aerobatic Flight in the MiG-29”. After taking off the jet fighter rushes into the endless sky accelerating from low speed to supersonic speed and thus getting through the clouds and reaching the stratosphere on an altitude of 18 kilometers (12 miles). On that altitude while moving with a moderate speed you are able to enjoy beautiful view of curvature of the Earth. Upon reaching that altitude the pilot gradually descends down to a regular altitude (5 km or 3 miles) and perform aerobatic maneuvers (“Inverted Flight”, “Hammer Head”, “Roll”, “Loop”, “Combat Turn” etc), low-height flight. If you are a certified pilot, you can even perform basic moves on the jet fighter by yourself! Under the close control of our pilots, of course) The price is 16.500 EURO’s.
