How about a super clean MiG-29UB Fulcrum? Built in 1982, the airframe has only 818 flight hours since it came off the line and only 118 hours since a complete airframe overhaul at the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant in Ukraine. New paint job in 2012, interior refurbished, only flown as an aggressor on weekends . Fly it away today for just $4.65 million. No low ballers I know what I have.

Well, I’m flying no where in this thing till the whole MiG lives matter movement gets off the ground.
I don’t want to be shot just cos I’m in a MiG.....T hey would never treat me that way if I was in a more expensive A320 or 77 7.

I know Boris currently owns it. He told me carburetor needs to be rebuilt. Also check engine light is on. Needs new battery. Spare tire has good amount of thread.

A single-seat MiG-29, clean (no weapons or pylons) tops out around M2.25. A two-seater like this can probably hit M2 in a dive, but that’s pushing it. The Su-27/30/35 is in the same range, and even a MiG-25 or -31 is red-lined at M2.83.

I may have been mixing the 27 and 29 again. I just remember one of them can do M3.2 on full afterburner.
It really could, too!
For 15 seconds before permanently damaging both engines beyond any repair, a nd half the skin.

Yeah, the Israelis tracked an Egyptian MiG-25 doing 3.2 over the Sinai back in ‘71. The engines of that plane were wrecked though, and you can be damn sure that pilot was disciplined (probably with a 9mm) . Anything over 2.8 and the MiG-25' s or -31' s engines will basically start tearing themselves apart.

That’s the one! It’ll do M3.2. Once.
Plane AND pilot.
Hey, they're totally legal to import into the US. And let's see the FAA stop me since the SR71's retired.

The likelihood
of getting shot down while flying this plane is fairly high. It would still be fun tho if you knew it was your last day on earth to
go flying around Edwards and see what comes up to meet you.

Hello sir. I want to open an aviation museum in Bucharest, Romania. I will receive some free planes from Germany next month. Visit www.aerospot.eu . Do you know from where can I get a free MiG-29, old or broken for static display ? Thank you.
