  1. This should clarify, it's about MiG-29 OK, I'll translate :P Q: Is it possible to hear other jet flying nearby? A: Yes, but it has to be close, before you or side by side, best at maximum thrust or afterbrner. Once upon a time, I flew ordinary training flight, we were VID interchangeably, once I played target, next time my wingman. That day we acted as ordinary Boeings, no maneuvering. It was my turn to be a target, I don't like it because you have to fly straight for several minutes, bored I started to play GPS, watched how my pal is gainins position, etc. After some time I noticed that it was too cold in the cockpit, I bend down to increase temperature to 20 degrees, did that and heared strange noise. At first I thought: "this air conditioning is really loud", but then I looked up and I spot the plane which intercepted me, instinctively I clenched my teeth and the thing a man has on his other side. It wasn't looking good at all. The guy was in inverted flight, his nozzles where shining with afterburners and the plane was falling towards my nose. He passed directly ahead of me, about 50 meters. At first I wanted to lower RPM, but I didn't, the sudden change of parameters could lead to engine stall when passing his wake. Not slackening my teeth (and the second thing) I passed this turbulence, I got 60 degrees of bank even though I didn't move the stick. The whole time I heared his engines working, it was the hum I thought came from air conditioning. And why it happened? Nothing special, when you make a barrel roll around other plane you need speed. At highest point you have to strongly push the stick forward, otherwise the plane will fall like sh.. , i.e. like my pal's jet, fortunatly in front of my nose, not directly at my plane. After the flight he explained me what happened and asked if he had scared me much because he had the shit scared out of him and had to rescue himself with afterburner. Of course I answered that I wasn't, that it was cool, looked nice an so on, but asked him not to do this again. Now he is retired and probably tells stories everyone around how he made rolls around my cabin.
