Up to 20km 65,000ft altitude, insane aerobatics with G-Forces over 9g, and a top speed of Mach 2. It is the only possibility to break to sound barrier for Civilians, worldwide. There is no possibility to reach a higher speed than that. In fact, it is twice as fast as the next possibility for non military pilots. And - you can control the MiG-29 up there, even if you are not a pilot! But how does the Edge of Space flight day look like? The Edge of Space flight program is as follows: The day starts usually at 09:00 - when you are picked up from your hotel by your charming interpreter and your personal driver. The limousine will bring you to Sokol Airbase, where the MiG-29UB two seater is produced. Actually, the MiG-29 you'll fly in later is the one that is being shown to potential customers. So it is always kept in perfect conditions. Now you'll be introduced to the crew and pilot, then a short medical check will ensure that you are in good conditions to do the flight. Enough sleep and no alcohol the night before is recommended. Once the check is done, you'll continue with the flight preparations: During the briefing you'll discuss the flight program. You can let the pilot know how you'd like your Edge of Space program - especially the aerobatics part. Some want as much G's as possible, others want no aerobatics at all. But don't worry, since you probably don't know what you can stand - the flight program will be adapted once in the air, depending on how you'll feel. And the pilot will ask you regularly how you feel, so he can deliver the optimal flight program for you, custom-tailored to your preferences and condition. After the briefing, you'll be fitted in G-suit and overall, and the helmet will be tried on and explained to you. Now you are almost ready for the stratosphere! After being driven to the beautiful Mikoyan MiG-29UB Fulcrum, you'll do a walk around with the pilot, and do all the necessary checks. Now you'll climb into the cockpit and the crew will strap you down. Once you seat in the cockpit, the pilot will explain you all instruments - and how to use them. Remember, you'll have the possibility to fly the MiG-29 yourself. Once you are ready, the pilot will climb inside and the canopy closes and the incredibly loud Fulcrum engines are being tested. Now the stratosphere flight starts. After taxiing to the runway, the engines get louder, and once the breaks are being released, the Fulcrum accelerates in a way you'll be pressed into your seat properly. But there is more to come. After take off, the MiG-29 starts to climb with a climb rate of up to 330m/s. Isn't that insane? You are basically in a rocket. You'll now fly all the way up to the Edge of Space, in a ballistic flight path. That's the only way to get that high as you'll be much higher than the service ceiling of the MiG-29 in the end. So the MiG-29 climbs with full power to that altitude - and with supersonic speed. Once you have reached the stratosphere, you will stay there and enjoy the breathtaking view you have from there: The sky above is black. You can see a huge amount of stars even during the day. The Earth can be seen as a planet with the curvature, and it is wrapped in the blue fog of the atmosphere. Just as you know it from photos taken from space. It is described by customers as a "life changing moment". Now the way down starts. And with it, the aerobatics program. In fact, you'll be doing your own awesome airshow. Loops, rolls, inverse loops, turns, Tail slide, Hammerhead to finish off! And you'll be breaking the sound barrier again, with top speeds of up to 2450 km/h possible. And you'll get the control stick - you can fly the MiG-29 yourself. After the flight, you'll receive a certificate with a "proof" of the top speed, altitude and G's you achieved. The new video format with the outside cameras and the speed/height/G-Force indication can be ordered together with every MiG-29 flight now. Additional to the 3 outside cameras, there will also be 4 cameras inside and an additional camera man and photographer on the ground. The video features Canadian Ferrari race car driver test pilot Josh Cartu, who booked his MiG-29 Edge of Space flight early 2015. Video by Artur Sarkysian.

65,000 feet and he can see the curvature ??? Shhhhh ! Don't wake him from his global dream and show him the SR-71 at over 80,000 feet and no curvature.
Edge of space - God I love that one. Wetting my pants, stand back ! -
Ha ,ha, ha.
-
amazing how much curvature there is close to the ground. good old fish eye lenses eh FUCK OFF !
-
I came here to watch a video about a bad ass jet flight. Somehow I knew flat liner heads would be here. Lol
-
Damn it's 17,000 € to do this for 45 minutes as a civilian, but the pilots are lucky enough to get paid to do it every day.
-
can someone please explain why the plane can't just keep flying up and up till it escapes earth?? I mean like it has enough jet fuel, why can't it keep flying up till it escapes earth and enters the dark universe????????
-
i can see the curvature of the earth. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! what a dumb fuck! Doesnt know he uses fish eye lense!
-
NO. Riding is not enough. Letting us fly is what makes it worthy.

In the description it says he flew up to 20 kilometers in altitude; which is far from being the edge of space; but still a respectable achievement. (at 20km Earth's atmosphere is still thicker than Mars') The thing is, it's high enough that several symptoms of being in the vacuum of space start showing up. Above 19km (or Armstrong's limit) the minimum atmospheric pressure your body needs is barely met. Beyond that, your blood starts boiling and you'll inflate to twice your size or something. Which leads to the conclusion that he must be in a pressurized cabin, otherwise he would've died. But then that leads to the question, why is he wearing an oxygen mask then?

The sun iluminated one place only. The Earth is Flat.

Бля я тоже так хочу

I just wish these guys who do these videos would stop using a fucking fisheye lens. It would better help convince these damn fools that the earth is round. Is there any video online of someone doing that so we can shut these people up? Almost everyday, that's all I see on social media besides the other obvious things, flat earth.
-
now this advertisement has gone virus via wechat by a chinese travel agent. I guess Russian guys is gonna make a funtune soon.

So, I am college student right now and 19 years old. I am a simulated flight fan, and I am going take this shit flight with my wage before 2020 if this flight still available in that time. That is my dream,I am serious. Even though, my parents have the money that this flight needs.
-
Lmao. 22 seconds in and like 1/5 of the globe is absolutely covered in clouds? Where is this dude at? LOL, why did he even feel the need to say "It's not an optical illusion at all" in the year 2016?
-
The Earth is hollow.
-
А почему на такой высоте и без гермокостюма ? А если разгерметизация ?
-
watch between 29-32 seconds you will see curvatures change. this is a load of bullshit!
-
pause the video at 0.13 and then look at it. space looks like it's curved and not the earth. definitely not a optical illusion, sarcasm much!!! LOL

virgin is charging 20x this price to experience brief zero-G .. probably good value then
