joey45 Posted April 28, 2009 Posted April 28, 2009 MiG-29 can pull 11 g's ... aircrafts can pull more G's then Pilots. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Sulman Posted April 29, 2009 Author Posted April 29, 2009 Some of this information sounds incredible. The guy did his first ever flight with that aircraft and manages to pull a tailslide? Just wow.. It is impressive. The ease of use is something one reads about consistently with Russian equipment; although there's much written about the ergonomic and human interface shortcomings compared to something like an F-16. The differing philosophy - effectively assuming the pilot can and will get himself into a dangerous part of the envelope in stressful situations - interested me. Although commonplace, MiG's still interest me. I saw a '29 (OVT) for the first time in 2006, and an 'A' mark only last year. Still haven't seen a Kosher SU-27, only the MKI. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
