A test engine run of MiG-31 before the taxiing start and take off. The water from the puddle rises to the air by the jet stream and the vortex is coming into the air intake from the ground. Thanks to the past heavy rain for these beautiful scenes!
All-weather fighter MiG-31 (named Viktor Prudnikov) is taking off against all types of weather: windy, wet and sometimes sunny. And finally we've got outstanding result!!
Double thumbs up from the MiG pilot for this very great flight in IL-78! Staying in a right turn over the Kama river and the beautiful landscape below, the pilot seems to be showing like "hey man watch, no hands!"
