[link|http://aeroweb.lucia.it/~agretch/RAFAQ/MiG-29pilot.html| Fulcrum] by Alexander Zuyev. A few in-cockpit vignettes as the author describes his defection from Voenno-vozdusnye Sily (Russian Air Force) to Turkey. (Fulcrum is what the Russ called the MIG-29)

Pretty exciting stuff, esp. his trip down the runway at night.. trailing the plugged-in starting generator, til attrition finally yanked it loose!






Yeah - bits of Walter Mitty in us all,

Ashton
