When Icarus gazed into the heavens and set forth his plan to reach them in flight, the wise words of his father, "Icarus, my son, I charge you to keep at a moderate height," would have been unnecessary if he'd had a MiG -- 25... and our wings won't melt!!

Built around massive Tumansky turbojets, the MiG -- 25 Foxbat, with its nearly 46-foot wingspan, is capable of catapulting off the runway and climbing 65,000 feet into the air in less than nine minutes!


We flew from the year 2000 up to 2006 on the Zuchowsky Airbase, nearby Moscow. Customers love it. This video is an edited video what we used as an advertisement at this time.

Attention: This video is the original video what you will find on a lot of sites on YouTube. There is no permission to use it in another version, doesn't matter if re-edited or not. The video can be used, AS it is. Please, respect it. Thank you very much! It is not in our intention, to fight against users who edited the video and shows it as their own, but the footage is very rare and costs a lot of - time and money.
