## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I fly a fighter jet without being a pilot?**
Yes. No flight skills required. You will be briefed on the ground and can take the controls under close pilot supervision during the flight.

**Is it safe?**
The aircraft are top-maintained military jets with excellent safety records. Pilots are high-ranking military members, Navy/Air Force pilots, or test pilots. MiGFlug has had zero incidents since 2004 with hundreds of flights per year.

**Can I bring friends and family?**
Yes. Spectators are welcome and can watch all preparations up close. On some locations, multiple flights can happen the same day (2-6 flights per day).

**Can multiple people fly at the same time?**
At some locations, yes. Formation flights with jets as close as 4.5m are available (e.g., Latvia/Riga). Where only one aircraft is available, flights are done sequentially but briefing/prep can be shared.

**Can I bring a camera?**
Filming is allowed before and after the flight. During the flight, only pre-mounted cameras are permitted for safety. Professional in-flight video is available as an add-on.

**What if weather prevents the flight?**
The flight will be rescheduled at no cost. Fine-tuning with the pilot is done 1-2 days before based on weather forecast.

The F-104 Starfighter program at Cape Canaveral includes breaking the sound barrier ($35,000, requires pilot license). MiG-21 supersonic flights are available in the USA on special request.

**What about MiG-29/MiG-25/SU-27 flights?**
Civilian supersonic fighter jet flights in aircraft like the MiG-29, MiG-25, MiG-31, or SU-27 are currently not possible anywhere. The Russian bases that offered these have closed civilian operations.

**When is the best time to fly?**
Year-round in Florida, California, and other warm locations. For northern Europe and northern US/Canada, May-October is recommended. Winter months have higher weather risk.

**What is the total time on site?**
2.5 to 4 hours including briefing, preparation, the flight, and post-flight activities.
