Ever Fancy Going Supersonic, To The Edge Of The Stratosphere ?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Then you must go into a MiG-25, known for its speed and ability to reach almost-cosmic altitudes;  the MiG-25, Russian-built,  once pierced fear in the nipples of NATO-staff . Nowadays, to be honest, the MiG-25 is no longer a stand-alone:  newer generations of aircraft exist, but this is the only one known to allow a normal mortal to make this experience. Surely- to enjoy this, you need to be a thrill-seeker, looking for something beyond bungee-jumping. It's not cheap – mind you – but an ideal gift for someone who's got it all and then some.
    Off you go, have a medical, jump into suit and oxygen-mask, after some time to reach a top speed of Mach 3 (three times the speed of sound) and climbing to an altitude of 25 km. That's right at the edge of the stratosphere – enough to see the curve of the Earth below you, and the blackness of outer space above.
