I just can't believe the size of the jet intakes !

What a beast, although not a young one, but still amazing and rocking

By the way, I always wondered what's sticking up off the canopy in those Russians airplanes ?

Cp : Thank you for your clarification.

But I still have questions.

Does this means that the backsitter personnal is also able to take control on the plane ?

Mainly, in take off and landing phases ? Which would mean that they would be more than WSO ?

Thanks !!

The rear cockpit in the mig 31 has a rudimentary extendable stick and a throttle, so yes the WSO can fly the plane. Not sure how much they actually do though, or if its just for emergencies. Cant imagine that there is much visibility out the rear cockpit on the mig 31, even with the periscope.

 

Two seaters mig 21, 23, 29, 31 etc. are for training.

 

Aren't all Mig-31s dual seaters?
