Enjoyed that. How dodgy did the jet safety seem?
call me stupid but I loved the look of that so looked up the cost of a joyride https://www.flyfighterjet.com/fly-l-39-in-russia bargain at EUR 1,959.00 
looking forward to further episodes.
I was interested in the IL-2 Sturmovik that was taxiing out before, must have been the Vadim Zadorozhny's collection plane that only flew for the first time after restoration last year. - https://www.rt.com/viral/396976-il2-sturmovik-ww2-...

Yep don't get me wrong, it's cool that you can just pay and have a go. Not sure whether I would or not. And I'm no flying expert but I sort of assumed you end up lower than where you started doing a loop the loop and it looked like they started pretty feckin low!looking forward to further episodes.

Yay! First thought that popped into my head last night was "how much?". Not that I have £2k plus the costs of getting there to burn but if I suddenly end up in a bucket list scenario that's one thing that my savings would be blown on if I passed fit enough.looking forward to further episodes.
Amused that it reads no different to a track experience package as if they're selling 30 minutes in a Ferrari.

He looked like he had a long climb up before going over the top, pulling tighter over the top, then when coming out of the loop to horizontal he was maybe halfway up his total climb height. So instead of the bottom two here, he flew the top one, but went higher before going over and coming back down.

I went to that Space Museum and got told off for taking a picture of the Lunokhod by a female guard who looked just like the Russian woman in From Russia With Love with the blades in her shoes. Its not like I'm going to sell my picture to NASA,
I found Moscow to be very hostile and unfriendly, incredible architecture but the people are so miserable.
