These are the most beautiful jets ever created, and to enter service.
Currently Japan, Turkey, the Republic of Korea, and Iran are the only countries still flying these. And now that Japan is retiring them these other countries may not be far behind.
We need an organisation dedicated to the restoration, upkeep, and flying of these incredible birds!
First flew in 1958, in service since 1960-2019+
One great big salute to these incredible birds,
and a hope that someone may have the mind and the money to get a group together to maintain as many of these as possible.
Ahh yes! I thought I had seen this camera man previously, the Paradise of Phantoms I have watched before. Who do you think was the camera man for their squadron? haha
Top stuff though, once again, just love these birds, thanks for sharing Vlerkies!
I go giddy for a Mig-29 myself, but this is also an old favourite.
As for the footage, this guy ticks all the boxes. He gets pretty much everything right when it comes to recording fast movers or aviation related subject matter in a dynamic environment. Anyone that has tried will appreciate that I am sure.
