Footage Taken From Civilian Tourist Flights in a MiG-29 Aircraft Zooming Along at the Edge of Space
MiGFlug operates flights that take off from the Sokol plant airbase in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia using Mikoyan MiG-29 aircraft to take tourists on flights near the edge of space at 75,500 feet. A video from 2012 shows off the experience well.
Probably the most amazing experience in the world – the Edge of Space flight in the MiG-29 Fulcrum. Depending on weather and temperature, you can reach up to 20-22km altitude, 17km is guaranteed. Only astronauts and cosmonauts aboard ISS will fly higher at this point. You can clearly see the curvature of the Earth. The atmosphere looks like a blue fog, covering the Earth far below. Over you the sky turn very dark, sprickled with countless stars. An incredible view that only few people enjoyed so far!
