Hmmpf. And I'm still kicking myself for not taking Ken Thompson up on his offer to fly the corridor with me something like 10 years ago... Fortunately not in a MiG-29 . At the time I was still a bit too green to do it on my own.

Err, isn't the bird in the picture (still far too fast for sightseeing - how about a blimp?) a Check L-39 Albatross? But I say (never having flown in anything but airliners): if you want to have your entrails squashed, inner ear terminally confused and generally be half-killed, do it in Su-27; what is use of all that if you cannot boast having performed a Cobra maneuvre?

But, do tell about your encouters with Thompson; I am sure there are some good stories there!
