Pretty after I've put a '9X through one of its tailpipes maybe. Honestly they look like crap. They don't know the meaning of the word Ergonomics either Roll Eyes

You got to be joking? The Mig-29 looks absolutely georgous and at the time of its birth really pioneered its way in ergonomics in aircraft. The Ruskis are very talented and the Hind looks fantastic.

All right if you say so. I personaly hate any Mig, especialy the '29, so I don't feel the same way. The Mig's are still pretty much the only thing that shoots back (that is, if it even gets the opportunity) when the Lockheeds, the MD's, the Grumman's, and the Boeings come bombin', so I see tham as a direct threat to my and my military's well being and only good when going down in flames. Sorry.

I have also read many complants from western world pilots that have flown them and many say that they are a bloody pain in the arse. The controls are not laid out in the most natural manner and the pitt is cramped to put it nicely. They also cannot make an aircraft's skin smooth to save their lives. Roll Eyes

I bet you that if you put a Russian pilot into an F16 he would complain like crazy about the layout of the thing.

I could have guessed that you hate Mig's because they're the only thing that pose a threat to the USAF. But if they are good enough to take on the west then they deserve respect. You don't have to like them but if you respect them and what they're capable of then you will probably hate them less.

And also, am I the only one who doesn't see a huge amount of difference between the Mig29, Su27 and the F15?
