Go to the edge of space in a MIG plane
The celebrated MiG-29 “edge of space” flight climbed into the stratosphere until the sky darkened and Earth’s curvature became visible, followed by high-performance manoeuvres on descent. It was an extreme civilian aviation product, not spaceflight. Crucially, the operator’s current page says the MiG-29 offer is no longer available, so this goal cannot responsibly be booked as advertised today. Do not pay a broker, gift-certificate reseller or supposed military contact claiming secret access. Historic flights operated in Russia, and current FCDO advice tells British nationals not to travel there; insurance may be invalidated and UK consular support is limited. Sanctions, export controls, aviation permissions and security rules add further complexity. A convincing old webpage, video or quoted price is not evidence of present legal availability. If a reputable civilian high-altitude jet experience becomes available in a destination to which travel is advised, verify the aircraft operator and national aviation approval independently. Demand written details of altitude, flight profile, pilot, maintenance, passenger medical screening, oxygen, pressure equipment, emergency procedures, insurance and refund terms. Obtain aeromedical advice for heart, lung, neurological, spinal, pregnancy or pressure-related concerns and never hide a condition to pass screening. For now, choose a lawful alternative—an approved jet trainer flight, aerobatic experience, zero-gravity flight or future commercial high-altitude product—without relabelling it a MiG edge-of-space ascent. Preserve the original ambition on the list and monitor official availability rather than manufacturing completion. Completion requires a legally operated, medically cleared high-altitude MiG flight matching the claim; until one exists, the accurate status is unavailable, not failed.
