Just out of interest, has anyone done one of those "Pay £xxxxx and spend a week flying MiGs" holidays? Or know of anybody who has?

This sort of thing looks fantastic, especially the mixed packages (L39/MiG 21/MiG 25/Su 27) etc. I guess with the Russian Economy as-is this sort of thing is fairly unique. Although it's way too expensive for most of us mere mortals.
Still, I guess being able to say "I've flown at Mach 2.8" is pretty much priceless!
