Flights in MiG fighter-jets at Sokol airbase: MiG-29, MiG-31, MiG-21

Our Sokol airbase offers tourists different flying programs varying in length and comlexity using MiG 31, MiG 29 and MiG 21 fighter jets. We can divide our programs into the following: Sky (MiG 29 or MiG 21), Space (MiG 31 or MiG 29) and a complex mixed flying program Sky + Space. They offer very different packages, providing different experiences.

SKY (MiG 29 or MiG 21)

Explore the sky and experience many thrilling aerobatic maneuvers, from the basic standard ones to the most advanced, (depending on your physical condition) - with the MiG 29 Fulcrum or legendary MiG 21! This programme comes in two flight-packages of varying duration, 25 minutes and 45 minutes. The maximum acceleration you would experience during these flights may reach 7-8 G, with a minimum of 3-4 G. However, the flight packages are quite flexible and could be re-designed, by the pilot, according to how you might feel during the flight. You would have constant communications with you pilot using an intercom connection. Please don’t think that these flights are only for physically strong young men. We have substantial experience of organizing such flights for 65-year old men, as well as for women of all ages, all of who have coped well with all the different G-loads and loved the experience.

Most suitable for: customers who want to experience a thrilling adrenaline rush, and who would enjoy unique, extensive aerobatic maneuvers with high G-loads.

Explore space and observe our planet from above (22 km up) with the MiG 31 Foxhound. This unique high-altitude MiG 31 fighter-interceptor (an up-to-date equivalent of the MiG-25) will fly you to the edge of space. Based upon our previous experiences with such flights, you would not be exposed to any G-load sensations at all! What you would experience is the amazing feeling of seeing the boundary between the sky and space, and the curvature of the Earth, with a layer of white around it, a blue band on the horizon and the sky becoming gradually darker. Yes, you are right: this is exactly what the cosmonauts see from their space shuttle! Our Sokol air base can also offer similar flights to the stratosphere at the edge of Space in fighter jet.

Sky + Space (MiG 29)

This is an absolutely unique and complex flying program consisting of a flight to stratosphere at the edge of Space coupled with experiencing high-performance flight-maneuvers as the aircraft descends to lower altitudes.

During the 45-minute flight, you would have a wonderful opportunity to feel many positive emotions and a have a great deal of pleasure by observing the Earth from the edge of Space as well as experiencing the complexites of aerobatic maneuvers at lower altitudes. You would be able to well appreciate, how capable our fighter-jet MiG 29s are of accomplishing all that. You would be delighted by the plane itself and pilot’s expert capabilties.

Apart from the above-mentioned standard flying programs, our air base can make concessions and consider all your potential wishes by checking the possibility of providing the best program that would accommodate you.
