Inside an American MiG-29

Step into the cockpit of America’s only private, airworthy MiG-29. This aircraft is owned and flown by Jared “Rook” Isaacman as flagship of the Polaris Program’s Ghost Squadron. It is used primarily as an advanced training resource to provide Polaris Program astronauts with experience they will use on their missions. This MiG-29 can also be seen in the skies over America in air show performances that showcase precision flying and bring awareness to the team’s partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Jared’s MiG-29 is the only airworthy, privately owned MiG-29 in the entire United States. It also stands out due to it being the two seat “UB” variant. This model was designed to train Soviet pilots how to fly the MiG-29 with an instructor so that they could eventually transfer to the single seat variant. The aircraft has been demilitarized so any weapon systems present are non-functional. Any inaccuracies in this video are purely a result of my own confusion. If you enjoy,
