An amazing high quality video for those interested in Mig-29's, providing a vantage point that not many have had the chance to experience, especially in 'the west'. This Mig-29 is one of the first privately-owned examples in the U.S., owned and operated by Historic Flight Foundation, based at Paine Field, Everett, WA.

And some more amazing videos also provided by Historic Flight Foundation:

P-51D, P-51B, B-25D, on a 'training' flight:

Formation flying with a P-51B (that I've had the fortune of climbing on to get 'research' :) ):

Look how smooth that Mig is in flight, truely a well designed fighter, just to think the US had to design the F16 which is a computer FBW aircraft and it isn't that sweet, us Brits just keep quiet lol, the Mig29 is truely an awesome aircraft from a purely flying pilots point of view! Awesome VID! :salute:
 
Really suprised no one had anything to say on this! I thought it was amazing! :ernae:

that second Vid is awesome, when I fly I love turbulence, it's such good fun when you think your about to die I love it!
 
Here's a 360-degree/virtual view from the front office of the HFF-museum Mig-29:

And another 360-degree/virtual view from the cockpit of the museum's Spitfire Mk.IX:

(Note the minimal amount of modern avionics - keeping the cockpit very stock - one small control head on the far left of the instrument panel, and another small one on the left side of the floor of the cockpit.)

Both 360-degree views were crafted by Lyle Jansma of AeroCapture Images.
 
Here's another Privately Owned Mig 29 that made history late last year in my home State of Illinois.
 
Speaking of the Great "Fulcrum" Mig-29,Isn't Lotus Simulations working on one for FSX? I haven't heard any news about it in a very long time.Anyone know of any updates?
