I hope this firepower will be used only to frighten our potential enemies. Someone find these things beautiful, gorgeous and interesting. Just don't forget that these things represent "beauty" of death.

Did you know, you can fly real military MIG fighter yourself without any practical experience. The only thing you need is strong desire and love for adrenaline. Have a look at SkyandSpaceTravel, they offer flights in Russia on MIG fighters. The prices start from EUR 11,000 but it is really worth doing this. Russia is the only place in the whole world where you can fly fighters at supersonic speeds. You can even go to the edge of space!!! Really great stuff, I will do this one day. Definitely!!!

Anthony Boudain had a great time in Russia doing his "No Reservations" travel documentary last year. Near the end of his visit, he was talked into taking a tourist MIG flight Smile Cool documentary, see Youtube "No Reservations - Russia Part 5 of 5" below:

The other parts 1 - 4 are well worth a look too!

Well, finally something worth watching on WTR and not another bride agency. Thanks for posting this video. I watched all those video's on "No Reservations". Very interesting.

Interesting, that you find these clips "worth watching" here, having by your own admission, viewed them elsewhere. Still I suppose that you are finding yourself increasingly behind the eightball in the bride stakes and consequently resorting to watching repeats...of anything.

I can do without your criticism. This is the first time viewing these videos.

It was most remiss of me, not to realise when I read, "I watched all those video's on "No Reservations". Very interesting," that you had never seen them before.
