    From idle to powering up on an M601D is about 5 seconds.... may as well be 5 years when you're trying to negotiate a short strip

    Probably. Just without the butt-clenching sinkrate of the mig.
    When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

    No, that was an English Electric Lightning - here's the vid (fast forward to around the 5:00 mark)

    No. That was a Lightening. Twice the fuel burn of a Mig 21.

    Can be a bit butt clenching approaching a sloping 200m airstrip in a Fletcher too, if you're not paying attention.

    I reckon it would soon get boring being a single seater. Like a single seat Pitts - great fun, but it's more fun to share it.

    Did you know that at just below the speed of sound, Auckland > Tauranga will take 9 minutes.....Akl > Wlg 26 mins

    It would be appropriate if it went to the Ashburton museum. They are collecting a few jets, including the only Harrier in the southern hemisphere.

    Bet the Mig needs a slightly longer strip than the Fletcher
