There's only one place in the whole world where it's legal to carry out MiG-31 Foxhound flights with civilians on board: The SOKOL Airfield in the Russian city Nizhny Novgorod. This city is an essential component of the Russian military-industrial complex and has only been accessible without special authorization for a very short time. The Gromov Flight Research Institute in Zhukovsky near Moscow conducted such flights with the ancestor, the MiG-25 Foxbat, until January 2006. Since then, only flights with the more powerful MiG-31 have been possible.

Only in Nizhny Novgorod, flights with the big russian aircraft are at this time possible - and we at MiGFlug are proud to have been the first western provider to have conducted flights there.

	A comfortable domestic flight takes you to the airfield

The exact airfield needn't be your concern: The transfer to the airfield from Moscow and our translator, who will escort you on your way there are already included in our price! And this is going to be your day:

Early in the morning, our translator picks you up at the hotel. Subsequently, you drive to the airport Moscow-Domodedovo with the comfortable Airport-train where you'll fly to Nizhny Novgorod with a Boing 737 of S7 Airlines at 9:10 am. After the short flight, our driver awaits you in Nizhny Novgorod and immediately takes you to the airbase.

The pilot at the briefing

After the verification of your documents, you get entrance to the military area. In one of the buildings, you meet the pilot and the doctore who will do your medical checkup. If your physical condition is okay, things can get started. The pilot, an experienced test pilot, discusses with you the flight program. Many or few maneuvers, fast climbing to high altitudes or reckless maneuvers above the airfield - four different flight programs are available and can be further modified to suit your individual taste.

The next 30-60 minutes belong to you - experience the full power of the two unbelievably potent engines! The thrust of the MiG-31 is greater than her weight. You get pushed into your seat and experience rolls, loopings, immelmans, tailslides and further maneuvers with a power you cannot experience in any other aircraft. You can even fly the plane yourself during parts of the flight!
Depending on the program, you'll advance up to the "Edge of Space".

MiGFlug-customer at an altitude of 25 kilometers - at the edge of space!

No other aircraft currently provides you with the oportunity to climb as high as the MiG-31 Foxhound. Ascend up to the edge of space and experience Earth from another, simply breathtaking perspective: The curvature of the Earth - draped in the blue veil of the atmosphere - will be clearly visible. The sky above you becomes pitch black. Countless stars become easily apparent - More clearly than you have ever seen them. A moment which you will certainly never forget!

After touchdown, engineers help you out of your seat in order for you to have stable ground below your feet once again. You can now talk about the flight with the pilot and pose in front of the plane for a handshake. We then invite you to a lunch in the canteen of the base where you can once again recall your flight. A certificate is made for you which will remind you for the rest of your live of this - at any rate unforgettable - adventure.

In the evening, there's some time left for sightseeing in Nizhny Novgorod after you return to Moscow with another S7-flight and our employee takes you back to your hotel.
