Majesco Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Anyone here tell me what's it on the top of the trainer Mig-29UB's canopy (between front & rear seat) ?? :( i guess it's a mirror, right ? :music_whistling:
AlphaOneSix Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Yep, a mirror. Or more specifically, one of two mirrors, giving the instructor in the back seat a periscope to see over the student's head.
Vekkinho Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 In other words it's a periscope allowing instructor in the back seat enough view to see the runway during landings like in the second pic U posted! MiG-29UB isn't hte only airplane with this system, two seat versions of MiG-21 Mongol and MiG-23 Flogger also had this simple but functional feature! You can see it in this video at 08:23 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usM4XRY1HM8 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

FVMAD Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 yeah, i find it on the two seats version Mig-21 Mongol and Mig-23 :D .... so what's on top of the canopy of Mig-23 single seat version in this picture ?? Rear view mirror, same like on su-25 in LO and Ka-50 in DCS.
