MIG 15: Jet fighter hydraulic failure above Mojave desert - LOW FUEL HELICOPTER LIFE

S1E10 - I trade my faithful rotors for wings and a jet engine.
I'm taking you to California City Airport, in the Mojave Desert, in California, to meet Fred Bourdais, where I usually fly a Fouga Magister, but this time, we took the MIG 15 out!
This is the first time that I have flown on MIG 15, unlike the Fouga, I'm flying in the back seat, for takeoff and landing I ghost Fred on the handle, for the rest ... It's me!
An hour of flight told in 16 minutes, you will not see everything, but I tried to select the most beautiful.
When I fly, I listen and I feel my aircraft, it has helped me several times already ... This time, it saved us a few minutes on a hydraulic failure.
On the MIG 15, the train, the flaps, the airbrakes are hydraulic, but the brakes operate with compressed nitrogen.
This video is a little longer, but do not miss anything I put you nuggets everywhere: canyon flight, high speed, incredible landscapes ... I think this is the first video of which I am proud.

[@edwardhewer8530]

@@LOWFUEL - I think you missed the point. In most of the video we see the one door open on at least the right side I believe. It is very impressive it was not ripped off when you were doing 420kts. We are marveling at how well the aircraft is built. Thanks for the amazing video. Truly impressive how smooth the flight was as well as your non fear to comment to Pilot in Command that something appears wrong. You must be an excellent humble pilot. The kind that live long.

[@Fadamor]

@@LOWFUEL On take off the gear clearly closed properly, but in subsequent clips the gear door is back down, exposing the inside of the gear bay to turbulent forces not intended. This implies the hydraulic problem happened much earlier in the flight than when first noticed and flying around at high speed with the door extended certainly isn't helping things. I guess the MiG never bothered with gear indicator lights?

[@LOWFUEL]

@@Fadamor Yes, it opens around 6mn I believe, I put a orange sign pointing at the door to show this very moment. And yes there are indicators inside the cockpit...

Fantastic video brother! Love it! I had a similar flight in an F-15 but instead of above the floor of the Mojave Desert, it was above the waves of the Gulf of Mexico and it was the most intense, exciting, invigorating, free feeling that a man can ever experience!! Nothing will ever beat that experience for me unless I get a ride in an SR-71 or equivalent but there’s zero chance of that ever occurring so my F-15 flight will be the best thing to ever occur in my life!! I wish I was still around aircraft, I miss them everyday!! You are a good pilot brother!! Always trust your intuition when you feel or hear something that is not normal, your intuition will keep you alive, every time!! It probly saved you this time as well, good job!! And thank you for taking us along in a MiG!! That’s a priceless experience few will ever have the opportunity to live!

F-15 !!! Crazy! I would be so glad to fly a F-15, it is even a step further than MIG15, and probably a lot safer!!!

[@guidosarducci3047]

Oh man! The Mig 15 -17 is one of my favorites. I grew up in the 60's & 70's. My father flew F-4 Phantoms. He retired as "Wild Weasel" @ George AFB. It's long gone now. ( it's just a logistics staging are and some repair training now) But back then, when he was still flying, it was common place to hear sonic booms on a daily basis. Even Edwards is quiet nowa-days. For the most part anyway. It kinda makes me a little sad. thanks for the post. I liked and subbed.

I agree that the Mojave is mystical. Look at the accomplishments and sacrifices that have taken place there since 1940. I was a new aircraft mechanic at Edwards AFB in 1977. CE Anderson, Chuck Yeager, Pete Knight, and Gen. Doolittle were still active. I was very fortunate to see, meet and enjoy so many heroes of aviation. The morning after I left the Air Force I made my first sky diving jump from Cal City and broke my ankle! I worked at Mojave Airport on F-86, F-100, FJ-4 and T-38s. Let's not forget Pancho Barnes!

Avec plaisir :)

This beautiful aircraft is right up there with me! Had a scale model as a kid, and spent hours fantasizing. Your video comes close to that vision. Majestic landscapes, graceful turns and millions of miles of sky! I've watched this video 5 times in a row, just for the impressive experience. Thank you, my friend.

[@LOWFUEL]

That's a very kind message, and what you felt is exactly what I expected people to feel watching this video, a bit like me when doing it.

[@TheAaronfung]

Amazing. I'm from a country once was a primary user of MiGs but I have never "seen" a still alive flying machine like this until now. Merci pour la magnifique performance!

[@LOWFUEL]

I know several of them still flying.

[@carrma3831]

What a dream, low flying is the most fun type of flying by far. Although, got to stay loyal to soaring, as a Glider Pilot :)

[@LOWFUEL]

You nailed it perfectly, and you know what, take a look at my 6th episode, I am gliding in high mountains with a... helicopter :D

[@justinm.791]

Wow.....just wow... Gentlemen it was a pleasure watching this from the safety of my bedroom..🤣 Absolutely impressed with the both of you with your skills and professionalism.

[@LOWFUEL]

Thanks, was a great flight!

[@snowboarder7772]

When I was 10 years old I played at playground in a camp with that old aircraft. Engine was taken out. I remember wasp nests inside nostrils of that aircraft , so nobody was willing to go inside there. I thought it was conus missed , so there were such nostrils. It always reminds me some part of childhood.

[@LOWFUEL]

You are lucky, some on this earth have very bad child memories of this plane which was actually flying and bombing them...

[@jetaddicted]

I too would spend my youth in a nearby aircraft cemetery, a civilian one though. I’d come back full of dust, grease, holed up clothes and stinking of Cordite, at age 6-10, to my father’s pride and my mother’s fury.

[@Plume7874]

Magnifique vidéo. Je retrouve ces paysages fantastiques découverts en 2018 (depuis le sol).

[@LOWFUEL]

Oui, cet endroit est magique !

[@Threetails]

Old plane, hydraulic failure, low altitude, plane-shredding rocks all around. High pucker factor. Cheers for staying so calm!

[@LOWFUEL]

Yep, my first propositon was to climb if you noticed... This is tightly connected to your observation 😂

[@windwardpro]

This is some of the best flying (and on the ground) video I have ever seen. Incredibly well filmed and edited and the especially in combination with the music! (What is the music, by the way?) It's funny, you look at a MIG 15 on the ground (I have seen them in person) and they look like some pieces of tin patched together with a propane burner on the back. You say to yourself- "this ugly piece of junk can fly??". Then you see it in the air like this- and WOW- it is speed and gracefulness.

[@LOWFUEL]

Thanks a lot :) The music is coming from EpidemicSound.com, specific for video creators. So true!!!! Looks like a boiler on the ground...

[@utpharmboy2006]

these guys have balls of steel just to suit up and take off in one of these relics

it is amazing that he even heard the noise, love the old warbirds!

I am happy I did, if not we would have had the same situation with no more fuel...

13:46 when touch down ..so nice moment, the best camera angle/footage i've ever seen

[@LOWFUEL]

Thanks, my personal favourite one is the "high speed sequence"

[@pbaryski]

I have so many questions. Lol. This is really the best type of stuff on KZbin.

[@paulbeades6681]

This is the coolest video I have seen today. That wingtip shot IS superb!

[@LOWFUEL]

Thanks :)

[@romanazbukin8687]

Amazing video! The more advanced Mig-15 replaced the earlier MIG-9 model in 1948.

[@LOWFUEL]

Thanks!

[@herbh9348]

The back seater had a really good 6th sense that something unusual was happening with the plane, his instincts were correct. Nice flight and cameta angles for flying across the desert.

[@LOWFUEL]

In my helicopters, I am really used to listen to my engine and mechanic. After hundreds of hours listening of them, I know their "normal" noise, when it changes... I think fast :D I experienced some low rpm in flight or close to the ground, each time, noise warned me way before horn an light. (way before meaning a couple of seconds...)...
