Don't know if you folks have seen it, but the Mig-15 is one tough bird!

The 2 pilots survived & the Mig got restored & flew again:)

Did someone screw up the center of gravity or did the elevator jam in full up position?

I think is repaired already. It was years ago.

 

iirc it was pilot error. it also looks like one.

I knew that this mig crashed, but never knew it was recovered and repaired.

The pilot rotated too early. He had a bad habit of it in his earlier flights in that Mig-15.

 

Wow, how did he pass basic flight school? It looks like he was dragging the tail before it ever left the ground, and it was deliberate? In any case, good to hear it was repaired.

Good to hear they survived.

Pilots make mistakes. I knew a guy who spent 30 years with the airlines who bought it because he spun his Mooney into a treeline.

 

We try to stay on top of things the best we can, but we're still fallible humans all the same. Even if we are awesome.

I'm impressed on toughness of the aircraft. I expected to see fireball when they rolled.

It's worth knowing the trim could have been messed with (from a landing) It is easy to hit the trim lever in the mig
