This is my dream vacation. To fly in a MIG-25 at 3 times the speed of sound, up to the stratosphere at 25000 meters above sea level. See the blackness of space on a sunny day, see the curving of the earth and feel the power of one of the most amazing aircrafts ever built.
Just 18,500 Euros away

Here's a video clip, well worth watching if you turn down the volume and save yourself from the tasteless music

While Eddie Van Halen is a superb guitarist, that song is truly awful. The 80s did a lot of good things for rock music, that song wasn't one of them.Henke wrote: Here's a video clip, well worth watching if you turn down the volume and save yourself from the tasteless music

The loudest plane I've ever heard was a Vulcan bomber at an airshow in the 90s. It flew low over the crowd and the the sheer volume was immense.

The russion had a MIG display team there as well, they weren't as good as the Red Arrows.

I am sure there will be more free trips given away as prizes as the launch date for the spaceliners comes closer.
