Fly a MiG-31 to the Edge of Space
For over a decade, Incredible Adventures customers
flew to the edge of space in the MiG-25 Foxbat. Now, there's a
new plane on the runway - the MiG-31 Foxhound.
The MiG-31 Foxhound was built to replace the high-flying
MiG-25 and features improved performance in many categories.
How high can you fly in the MiG-31?
You'll fly to a virtual "no man's land", where few
aircraft are capable of flying. You'll need to wear a pressure
suit and you'll see the curvature of the earth. The American Institute
of Aeronautics and Astronautics refers to the altitude as "near
space".
"We circled and then accelerated past the sound barrier
to Mach 1.9. We then went upwards to about 70,000 feet. Near
the top I felt weightlessness for several seconds. I saw the
curvature of the earth and the dark sky above."
~ Paul C. of Tampa, Florida |
But how high is
that really?
It's nearly 2.5 times the height of Mount
Everest and over 55 times the height of New York's Empire
State Building. Fly a MiG-31 to the edge of space and you'll
be joining the THIRTEEN MILE HIGH CLUB.
Your
pilot will be one of Russia's finest top guns (info
here) and you'll have the best seat in the house for
an unforgettable view of planet Earth!

The 1982 Clint Eastwood movie
"Firefox" was about a MiG-31..
just not a real one. |
