MiG-29

[Paul Lee]

"Say, is that a RED camera?"
"Sure is. Is that a Mig-29?"
"Yes, good lookin' airplane, huh?"
"Boy, it sure would be cool if you went flying and we could shoot come cool footage."
"Even better if it was the FIRST privately-owned MiG-29 in the world to fly..."

Now, this is in Russia, right?
No, not even close. Actually, if you live in the US, this is really close ;-)

Stay tuned... history in the making.

Strictly as an aerial camera platform of course.

Actually... that would be awesome.

Wow ,that`s a crazy thing..when it hits reheat on take off you can actually see it accelerate(24 secs)..looks like a dragster.Great clip Paul,many thanks..love the way you`ve captured the speed and intensity of Natasha..

 

[Paul Lee]

It's pretty badass. By the way, she's called Natasha...

Here's some pics from the shoot. That's a GoPro mounted in the cockpit- too tight for an R1, but an Epic might fit...

Plane was named Natasha and had nose art. That's awesome.
