Aviation Video: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 - Russia - Air Force09/11/2009MiG-29UB vs Koenigsegg CCR. Unfortunately this competition was failed due to car's false start firstly and engine problem secondly. Anyway see 2 short takeoffs by MiG and some maneuvers by sports car.
Aviation Video: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 - Hungary - Air Force09/11/2009Display of a Hungarian Mig-29. Includes a nice touch & go, then straight into a tail slide. I think the pilot's finishing approach is where the term "short final" came from!!
Aviation Video: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 - Poland - Air Force09/11/2009This is footage of a Polish Mig-29A during its practice display. Watch as he taxis out. He throttles up both engines separately. The only reason I noticed is because of the smoke. Do all pilots in twin engined fighters do this?
Aviation Video: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 - Private09/11/2009The Mig-29OVT award winning display at Fairford. Includes the sommersault, double sommersault (I think Motomixer calls it the colbit manoeuver), cobra & flat spin. Watch for the heavy landing & the sparks as the engines hit the runway.
Aviation Video: Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 - Poland - Air Force09/11/2009Display of a Polish Mig-29A at Leuchars airshow. I'd say it is just as smokey as a Phantom! Watch for the low pass with the undercarriage down before landing.
