Flying a 1954 MiG 15 Fighter Jet 540 MPH

[Klaiber]

Very cool video showing the aircraft on the ground and in the air.

The pilot/instructor is extremely knowledgeable.

I wonder how much it would cost to do that?

I just noticed that the ADI is totally upside down from a modern airplane. Usually brown is ground and blue sky is up.

3,750/hr or 2,600 for a 35 min flight demo in back seat (non pilots). Pilots with 1,000 hrs and 500 PIC can get a type rating (doesn't list the cost but sure it would take at least 5-10 hrs flying?)

Cheaper to produce? Kommissar says we must be prudent with the People's Rubles... no?

This is common in Soviet designs.  Brown is still the ground and the sky is still blue.  Vonrd's link above is a good one.

That is just so wrong! Bad enough trying to read the altimeters and such on German aircraft and now this??

He looked to have busted a few FAA regs. Sure didn't look like he was 500 ft min altitude and well above 250 kts below 10,000 ft several times! Very cool though.

And you've NEVER busted the regs?

Of course absolutely never NOT!

And if I were to bust regs I certainly wouldn't want to put it out on video

I take it the cabin pressure was 10k or there was more broken.
