Yes, I really like that thing. Performance at cruise on the Туманскиы Р35-500 is 40.21 kN, which puts it at just about Mach speeds. For $45k. That. That is

That. That is entertainment.
- run4yourlives 17y ago$89K is just the acquisition cost. Try getting a part for it. You'd be better of with the Albatross, even if it is slower. :) I share your appreciation of speed though.
- electronslave 17y agoThat particular listing is $45k in this month's Controller. The nearest Микоян parts are sold out of a location in Prescott, AZ. There's a type club in Reno for L-29/L-39s, and it's possible to get parts through a chain there, but MiGs were mass-produced for third world tinpot dictatorship acquisition, with a ready supply of back-compatible parts. There's a reason it was/is the most popular fighter in the world, and that reason is a lot like why Honda is a popular bike. Either way, it's academic, mainly because you're not getting a jet trainer, I only want to get rated for one and neither of us can afford the fuel besides.
- run4yourlives 17y agoSomebody has done their homework! ;-) But yes you're correct... this fantasy is reserved for post acquisition day.
