Unforgettable Experience: High Altitude Stratosphere Flight

2014/02/06



A photo story of one flight on MiG-29 aircraft at the altitude of 17 900 meters with maximum speed 1800 km/h. For those who have never experienced anything like this before it could become the brightest event of a lifetime.







We are going to fly from SOKOL facory in Nizhny Novgorod, Russiaб on an operational trainer MiG-29.



First of all you will need to take a medical examination and sign some papers to agree you won’t be blaming anyone if you die. The next step is a briefing. In fact the worst thing that may happen to you is vomitting. Untrained people often do not withstand the whole flight.


Such costume will protect from acceleration, air is supplied through the pipes. If the cabin gets depressurized at the height of 20 km the costume will compress the body so you will not die from the jump in pressure.
