Riding in a military jet
I remember that there was a possibility that one could take a ride in a military MiG. I think at one point the cost was $15k.
Are there any other places that would allow a person to take such a ride?
Best Answer
In Germany, at the Bitburg Aiprort, the former Bitburg Air Base, there is such a possibility. Well, they don't have MiG's, but you can have a flight on an L-39 Albatros, a trainer aircraft. There is a website in German. If want you to have more information, you can try to contact the guys.

Fast jets aren't smooth to fly in, like the kind of planes you go on holiday in \u2013 they're more like a fast fairground ride. You have to be strapped into your seat very tightly, so that you don't get thrown around. In fact, flying that fast and making lots of turns and dives can make you feel very sick.Can civilians go in fighter jets?
