A pilot who stole a secret Soviet fighter jet
One big difference between Soviet technology and American - the former was designed to be cheap, rugged and to survive a nuclear war.Unlike similar American jets, you can find Mig-25's in private hands today being maintained and flying.It is one of the only private experiences where you can break Mach 2 and get close to 90,000' feet[0].I love the Mig-25 - like the AK-47 there is something very admirable in a plane that is designed to both perform so well but to also be so easy to maintain and with such longevity.[0] http://www.rusadventures.com/tour6.shtml[1] "edge of space" flight - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCVMuxx7YKY
