He was at MAKS 2005 too. So there should be more great pictures to follow.

I presume the back seat is for the teacher and the front seat for the student and ive always thought it was a mirror for the teacher for taxing and such like...

Its a periscope. Check out this quick video for a nice view of what it might look like from inside the cockpit (although here it is from a MiG-29UB).
