Thanks for uploading this. Was one hell of a performance.

[@evangalinsky2499]

I was there for the arrival on Friday. I was blown away, NEVER thought I'd see a MiG-29 or any even semi-modern Russian jets in the US. This is nothing new for the rest of the world but to see this thing in the US, in my home state of WISCONSIN is just nuts. Amazing livery too. Was there for the show today, and man, when this thing is in burner, you can barely tell, its so quiet. I just wish (although I understand why not) they would have max performed the aircraft for a few turns/passes. Guess I have to go to RIAT to see that. It's just so rare to see foreign modern/semi-modern aircraft performing at airshows in the US. 100% pleasant surprise.

[@Superape]

Dear Evan! Better come to us in Moscow for MAKS'23 next year. You can see much more interesting flights of Russian and Soviet jets. Unless, of course, relations between our countries finally deteriorate

[@evangalinsky2499]

@@Superape that and I'm not exactly in the position of having a lot of money for travel lol that's also what keeps me away from RIAT, or I'd have gone long ago.

[@cadeschmitz8334]

Yeah if you lived in Oshkosh and don’t care about planes, you would not want them to max perform a fighter jet

[@evangalinsky2499]

@@cadeschmitz8334 they already were with the F-35 and Growlers, so that argument is invalid. The F-35 is way louder btw. I noted how quiet the 29 is in my original comment.

Love the fod doors opening. Amazing aircraft, surely one of the most high performing here in private ownership. The Smokey-ness reminds me of the early Phantoms

[@kentd4762]

Ditto on the anti-fod doors! I thought they'd be open from the beginning of the takeoff run with the massive inhalation of air...

My dad and I were right next to you guys when this Mig went bye. Thanks for giving us those front row seats!

Saw this Fly Friday and Saturday....Smoky Takeoff's and Parachute Landings....Rare Treat Indeed!

[@freedomfan4272]

We still got some smokers here in the US. the B52 is a great example of one along with a few others.

[@AlienVibesss]

Jared is amazing. Hope to see more videos of him, and the Polaris crew putting on a show. Can't wait to see Polaris Dawn launch in November!

[@ConnectionSpaceReal]

I was there a few days ago and saw the mig-29 and f-35 fly. It was amazing!

[@johnosbourn4312]

Nice!!!!!

[@tbx8gaming109]

Beautiful plane

[@AndreiTupolev]

Extraordinary to think that they entered service back in the days of the USSR, so it's at least a 35 year old or so design now. Where did they get that one from?

[@thedishonoredamerican129]

This is a former Ukrainian MiG-29UB. Brought into the US by John Sessions and owned by the late Paul G. Allen. Now it flies with Polaris.

[@quintonmichel6488]

first! absolutely love the vids!!

[@stealthfighter2923]

Notice intakes are closed during taxi, and only open during takeoff. Air is drawn in through slats on top. Reduces fod ingestion on unimproved airstrips.

[@mattpatt199]

As an admirer but someone who knows very little about the actual aircraft etc. Im interested to know why Migs appear to let out more smoke or alike out from their thrusters as opposed to newer aircraft such as the F22?

[@Mark36912]

@@mattpatt199 If im not mistaken. I believe it is due to water cooling. May be wrong though.

[@Splint993]

Pretty wild seeing the intakes open during the takeoff roll.

[@charlesburkholder9110]

How does it get air during the initial roll? They must still allow some airflow

[@Island_Line_Rail_Productions]

@@charlesburkholder9110 there are air vents on top of the wing that let the air in when the main intake doors are closed. It is to prevent FoD intake on poorly maintained or battle damaged fields

[@christisgod3354]

Bad ass camo.

[@nightflight6877]

I gotta get me one of those

[@altergreenhorn]

It is smoky with a reason it was made to use crude fuel if need to, the same goes for capability to land or take off on a grass airfield without a problem. Mig 29 have additional engine air intakes on the top of the wing/frame to protect engine from debries, if take off on the grass.

[@SoloRenegade]

but they also have short lifespans too. Russia is learning this in Ukraine. Their jets are wearing out fast.

I wonder if that Jared's wife in the backseat. Hope everyone watches Countdown: Inspiration 4 Mission to Space. Lots of shots of his Mig in that documentary. It had a different paint job back then.. or he has 2?

[@brianwaskow5910]

Good thing we developed the technology, so they had something to work from.

[@heidiholiday1879]

Was it burning wood or coal??

[@topfelya]

Is that Mig-29 privately owned ?

[@AirshowStuffVideos]

Yep

[@lsx001]

What’s the reason for the blocked inlets until midway through the take off run? Could engine get enough air with closed inlet?

[@topfelya]

I have also spotted that

[@prollins6443]

It's a safety feature so debris doesn't go into the engine. There are inlets above where the wing joins the body of the aircraft which provide air for combustion, then these inlets open up to allow more air.

[@topfelya]

@@prollins6443 Thank you for the explanation

[@Rob-H]

Does this show up on Flightradar 24?

[@evangalinsky2499]

It does not, at least not while it was performing. The rest of the jets on the team do.

[@Rob-H]

@@evangalinsky2499 👍 thank you!

[@Lion_McLionhead]

Imagine having enough money to not only manetain a Mig-29 but repaint it for an airshow. Where does he find a mechanic who knows how to overhaul an RD-33?

[@jameshollich3446]

Why is the MIG spewing so much smoke from the engines? It reminds me of a B52 on take off.

[@leomarsden7951]

the engine (RD-33) are from the 70s, i think its from poor combustion of the fuel, makes sense alongside the fact that this fighter was meant to be cheap, the MiG-29s companion, the Su-27 had more advanced engines and was more expensive than the MiG-29, these engines smoke much less than the MiG

[@a-fl-man640]

i couldn't afford the jet A. much less the aircraft and operating expenses. sweet toy though. would rather have it than a mega yacht.

[@pigybak]

I thought they had blue afterburners.

[@NCSiebertdesign]

Not the older engine varients. Also account for type of fuel they used in Russia giving the blue flame. It's either way.

[@c_lo01]

Is this not the mig35 variant of the 29? As far as im aware the mig29 was only a single seat plane and the mig35 was a two seat version.

[@daviddasilva2741]

I believe this is the mig 29UB variant which is the two seater version and the mig 35 is an updated version of the mig 29. I think also the mig 31 foxhound is an updated variant of the mig 25 fox-bat
