RUN

[dear all,
I have a question. Sorry if I ask, but I really do not know to who ask.
I have heard that in Russia there is a place where you can fly in a MIG, paying of course. This place is a sort of TOUR INTO A MIG, with a pilot who drive the aircraft.

Do you know something about it ?
Please can u send me a message to bikerr1@virgilio.it ?

thanks & regards

That is true AND the Archer became opporational in 1983! NATO
underestimated the capabilities of the Archer and Adder. So they
did nothing to significantly improve the Sidewinder or Sparrow!
The new Sindewinder AIM-9X out performs everything else in
the world, including the Israeli Python 4!

Russian pilots and their allies only fly about 20 hrs per YEAR!!
Aliied pilots fly a minimum of 20 hrs month! Experince and
training is the difference!

CHECK THIS OUT! It is about a program on the Discovery Channel.
The US Navy sent 8 F/A-18C pilots to Laage, Germany to work with
the 73Fighter Squadron which uses the Mig.-29 as its primary
aircraft!
The specs on the F/A-18 versus the Mig.-29 are similiar but in
reality their performance is quite different!! The same is true
for the Slammer (aka -AMRAAM) versus the Adder. The Luftwaffe
says the effective range of the Slammer is FAR greater than the
Adder or what the specs would indicate! There are tactics to
nullify the advantage of superior dog fight missiles and HMDS!
Just as there are tactics to nullify the advantage of BVR
missiles.
