 "whether I should shell out the $1500 for a 30 minute flight in a Mig.
Can any of you ex navy or air force pilots describe the experience?"


It is a blast--fast, beautiful, seamless integration of pilot and
aircraft.  Ironically, the main difference between flying the fast jets
and our Lancairs (IMHO) is the feeling upon leaving the aircraft--after
the jet ride, with all the yanking and banking, I usually felt
physically wiped out, like coming off a 1hr vigorous exercise program. A
happy hurt...
