Fly MiG-31 Foxhound in Russia, High Altitude Edge of Space Flight

Fly to the edge of space! Astonishing Earth views from 23 km up
This is the “SPACE Programme” on a MiG-31

Guided by one of Russia's top certified test pilots, you have a breathtaking take off with afterburners blazing, and travel at more than twice the speed of sound. From the cockpit you can observe the Earth from a tremendous altitude, up to 25 km, and look directly into the depths of space. Confirm for yourself that the Earth really is round, and join the stars for an instant!

You’ll be astonished to see the boundary between the sky and space, the curvature of the Earth with a layer of white around it, a blue band on the horizon and the sky getting gradually darker. Don’t forget to take your camera; that spectacular view won’t last! Feel the adrenaline rush as you reach the edge of space at supersonic speeds!

Most suitable for: customers looking for visual impressions and astonishing views of Earth from almost the altitude of space. Compared to the MiG-29, this is a calm flight, with no high G-loads or aerobatic manoeuvres. Especially recommended for senior travellers and anyone who wants to avoid the more dramatic physical challenges.

Please note, we currently use MiG-29 fighter for flights to the stratosphere and you can combine supersonic aerobatics with edge of space flight programme.

Sokol Aircraft Building Plant in Nizhny Novgorod (400 km from Moscow) is the only place in the whole world where you can fly a real MiG-31 high-altitude fighter – interceptor.

You will be exploring space and observing our planet from above (23 km up) with the MiG-31 Foxhound. The unique high-altitude MiG-31 fighter-interceptor (an up-to-date analogue of MiG-25) will let you fly to the edge of space. Based on our previous experience with such flights, you won’t experience any G-load sensations at all!

The package is quite flexible and can be re-designed by the pilot depending on your experience of the flight. You will have constant intercom connection with you pilot. Don’t think that these flights are only for physically strong young men. We have substantial experience of organising them for 65-year old men, as well as for women of all ages, all of whom coped well and loved the experience.
