- The ONLY Mig-23 Flogger flying in the United States is based out of New Castle, DE. It made an appearance at the DEANG 60th anniversary airshow held at the airport. The pilot was limited to passes at 900 feet or above due to FAA regulations, but just seeing and hearing one made it worthwhile. This clip shows the takeoff and shutting down.

What a beast! Reminds me of the days when I used to go to Cheshnegirovo airbase to watch the Mig-23BNs fly. Imagine two of these taking off simultaneously.
This is the first MiG-23 I see with tandem cockpit. I love the sound of that Tumansky afterburning turbojet.
When the afterburner ignites you can see the aircraft literally being punched forward!
It's said that it can go as fast as 900kts at very low altitudes and be the fastest single engine fighter, which is unbelievable for it's age...!
Superb vid of this aircraft!
The MiG-23 never failed as a fighter, the MiG-27 was a paralell project. The MiG-23MLD was the latest and last version, with upgraded radar, more poverful engine, redesigned airframe and smaller weight.
Jet engine heaven! Gotta love the MiG 23. Great audio in this clip. 5 stars.
The Mig-27 came before the Su-25 and was like the Su-17. It had different intakes, avionics, could carry guided weapons and had more armor. It was a major upgrade to the Mig-23BN(ground attack Mig-23).
Just Beautiful
Hell yes. Awesome vid plus no music to cover up the sound. The boom of the afterburner kicking in is all the music I need.
I'm American, and I've always thought the Mig-23 is beautiful. Unfortunately, we don't get to see foreign (especially Russian) aircraft that much. All you guys from other countries need to upload more vids! Preferably without music.
The variable wing was not for a shorter takeoff distance (although better takeoff and landing performances had been obtained), but for an higher maneuverability in a dogfight. The Mig-23 borns for to face NATO aggressors in Europe, above all the F-4 Phantom and the Mig-23 outmaneuvered the F4 in any combat aspect.
I love this place. i love the huge dorsal fin on it and the configuration for the undercarraige. she is absolutely gorgeous from all views.
I loved every minute of it. I went to Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm and loaded 352,500 lbs. of live munitions in a month and a half. We loved it because, there's no more training. Time for the real deal. When the jets came back empty, that was real satisfaction. We loved our jobs.
seems like this video has the Highest QUALITY SOUND afterburner crackle ( check at 0:53 onwards ) and bass out of anything I've heard on YT so far in 2017!
Shut-down sounds amazingly clear for a 11 year old video fidelity! GREAT JOB!!!!
damn that intense sound and rush makes me want to fly one of those mig 23
Here in Hungary, when a journalist in the late eighties went to made a small report from our MiG-23s, he went to the engine test site. When they started to check the afterburner regime, he dropped his camera and started run, because he thought, it is an explosion. Large flame, huge sound.
one of the most beautiful aircraft
The marshaller is so bad-ass, he's not even wearing ear muffs!
I'm fortunate enough to see MiG27s in action with our Air Force. Lovely stuff!
LEGENDARY POWER!
Beautiful!! Really nice footage and amazing plane!
I think the MiG 21 is the best looking plane in the world.
Yes, and the MiG-23MF had the R-29BD-300, the MiG-23BN/MIG-27 had the R-29BS-300, our (hungarian)Su-22M3 had the same R-29BS-300 and the MiG-23ML/MLA/MLD versions had the R-35F-300 engines.
There was suppose to be another one flying for the Cold War Air Museum in Lancaster Texas. I did some avionics work to it earlier this year, but I am doubtful it will ever happen. They had mechanical issues with the engine (ran it out of fuel and seized up one of the fuel pumps) and had to pull the engine. I have since heard that they got the engine installed and running but had other issues with the plane and apparently some personnel issues within the museum so I doubt it will ever happen.
It was all external. I worked on the"F" models. The internal bay was used to seat the Pavetac system. The lazer emitted for LGB's. As for flying in one, no, I never got that lucky. That was an honor rarly given to ground crews.
@dafty97
2nd example: Soviet MiG-23 (late production, fully equipped) should have an edge over Pakistani F-16, but several of them were shot down during the Soviet Afghanistan war, after straying into Pakistani airspace.
Wish he would bring that to EAA show in WI sometime...
If you truly want it bad enough, my friend, anything is possible. Unfortunatly, you won't fly an F-111. They're all retired to the boneyard, except the Aussies still fly a few of them, but they're on their way out, too. Really was a great jet. Look on my home page and see the F-111 videos I've got there, and also see the weapons guys doing what I used to do. Pretty cool stuff. I wish you the best of luck, my friend! Go out and chase your dreams, man!
amazing plane
What a beauty!
Yes I know it, but the USAF MiG-23 was an egyiptian MiG-23M Flogger-E with R-27F2M engine and MiG-21bis radar.
The two seater UB version used this engine, it less poverful than the MF version R-29BD-300 and ML/MLA/MLD version R-35-300. The R-35-300's characteristic was really impressive except the specific fuel consuption.
Holy shit that's a powerful engine
It's always fun to see a surplussed warbird at an airshow, be it American-made or from the other side.
Cool plane and nice quality video, The Mig23 is a Classic Cold War fighter.
Wednesday, February 25, 2004 (Gwalior):
India and America today finished a joint Air Force exercise in Gwalior in, which the top pilots from the two countries matched their skills against each other.
While the all-powerful US Air Force had an easy run in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Indian top guns amazingly shot them out of the sky.
That huge Turmanski afterburner is very impressive...I bet the pilot keeps a close eye on his fuel status on that aircraft.
Nice shooting Chris. I wish I'd have gotten the taxi-in! See you around this year.
Excellent video with good sound, What an awesome plane!
The Cold War Air Museum at Lancaster Municipal airport in Texas is finishing putting together a Mig 23. It will be flying this summer.
It's an R-29 in the Mig-23UB, the R-35 is on the Mig-23MLD
MIG-23s are not bad, the problem is that they were designed as long range interceptors to defend the enormous soviet territory from long range incoming strike aircraft, but they were used in combat only by foreign countries as air superiority fighters. It never performed the combat role it was designed for. Of course, as a tactical air superiority fighter, the mig-21 was much more on his territory.
there was an update program by Mikoyan-Gurevich to upgrade the radar and the avionics and add JHMCS (at early '90) but was rejected due to high cost
Very nice! 👍✈️
so bad ass when the burner kicks in
Remember how i saw those planes taking off from Pärnu airfield, then Soviet military airbase. I guess it was no more than 1974-1976.
And it was like. WOW! Deafening sound when they did climb up on very steep angle. Now i know they were Mig-23 cause a shape they had...
She just about blew my computer's speakers!
Death
A MiG-23 BN in East German markings
On 26 April 1984 Bond, who was about to retire, made a farewell visit to "an Air Force Systems Command unit"[6] believed to have been the 6513th Test Squadron, Red Hats, at Groom Lake. The Red Hats, like the 4477th TES Red Eagles based at Tonopah Test Range, clandestinely operated Soviet aircraft.[7] On a previous visit to Groom,[8] Bond had flown the secret YF-117A prototype. The MiG-23 was known as YF-113 in US service and, along with a greater number of MiG-21s, was part of a collection of Soviet-built aircraft that the 4477th flew.[9] Bond insisted on flying the MiG-23 BN fighter-bomber[nb 1]
after a cursory briefing over the cockpit rail, even though it was
considered a difficult aircraft and pilots usually received several
hours of ground instruction before flying it.[6][12] On his second high-speed flight, he was flying at 40,000 feet and over Mach 2,[nb 2] and had left the T-38
chase plane that was flying with him far behind, when a
hydro-mechanical inhibitor activated, preventing him from disengaging
the afterburner. It was designed to avoid sudden shut-downs at high speed that could damage the Tumansky R-29 engine, or even cause it to explode and destroy the aircraft. At such speeds, with the wings fully swept back to 72°, the MiG had very limited pitch authority and was inclined to yaw and roll. Bond lost control,[nb 3] made a distress call ("I gotta get out of here") and was then killed in the ejection,
when the slipstream broke his neck and shredded the canopy of his
parachute. The aircraft crashed in the desert, diving in at a 60° angle[13] and impacting on what is now known as Jackass Flats, part of Area 25 that was still contaminated from NERVA nuclear rocket testing years before.[15]
Bond's body was discovered by a USAF sergeant on his way to work, who
removed the rank insignia from Bond's flight suit with a pocket knife
before going to get help.[16]
Aftermath
The KM-1 ejection seat used in the MiG-23
The USAF would not confirm or deny that Bond was flying a MiG when he died,[17][18] and stated that Bond was flying "an Air Force specially modified test craft",[17] but it leaked the information to a journalist, Fred Hoffman.[15][19] When Time
magazine reported on the accident and the rumors of the US MiG program,
the USAF was forced to reveal that it was flying Soviet aircraft.[20] There were fears that the publicity would also lead to the exposure of the F-117 program, which was still secret and was also based at Tonopah, but this did not happen.[15][21]
The accident investigation was chaired by General Gordon E. Williams.[16]
The investigation report was kept secret, but one pilot who had seen it
commented unsympathetically: "He should have read the flight manual."[8] The report was required reading for American MiG pilots in years to come.[16] There was some annoyance that Bond had written off an irreplaceable national asset.[16]
Work continued to make the KM-1 ejection seat used in the MiG-23 safe
and reliable; another USAF pilot, Mark Postai, had been killed in an
attempted ejection from a MiG-23 in 1982.[22] Maintaining the Soviet ejection seats included reverse engineering
the pyrotechnic cartridges which fired them, as these had a relatively
short life and had to be replaced regularly as the chemicals degraded.[23] Pilots over the age of 45 were not normally supposed to fly solo in fast jets, and Bond was 54 at the time of his fatal crash.[17][19] Lieutenant Colonel James Tiley, commander of the Red Hats, was reassigned in July, though it is a matter of debate whether this was related to Bond's death.[16]
Bond was buried in Ashland, Mississippi, and was survived by his wife Betty and four children.[24] A memorial stone to him was placed in the desert where he crashed.[21] Major Thomas E. Drake, an experienced MiG-23 pilot who frequently said "This airplane will kill you today if you let it",[25]
emphasized the importance of good preparation to Colonel James Evans,
who was preparing to learn to fly the Soviet types, by referring to "the
General Bobby Bond Memorial Checkout: two take-offs, one landing, and a
fatal ejection."[26] The 4477th was inactivated in July 1990[27] but it is likely that the USAF continues to operate Russian aircraft clandestinely, including MiG-29s and Su-27s.[28]
52 years ago flew over West Berlin and broke a few windows
Excellent video! Superb aircraft for its time.
@dafty97
depends on which MiG-23 against which F-16.
Both were produced in uncountable variants over decades, and exported widely, with each client purchasing different capabilities.
A figher aircraft is a system (containing several subsystems, the most important of them being the pilot) within a system - the national anti-aircraft defense, including GCI, AWACS, other aircraft, SAM, etc.
Did you see the flame from those afterburners wow
DragonlordXV:perhaps you are correct about the 2 F-4's and an A-4 Skyhawk being shot down. However,The original A-4 was ordered in 1952 and the first F-4 flew first in the late 1950's. More importantly, both aircraft are primary attack aircraft for the IAF (bomb trucks) not for pure dogfighting.The Mig-23 was first seen in 1967 and although defined as a strike fighter..can only carry 2000kg of weapons! To me it compared well with the retired USAF F-105, a fast aircraft that cannot dogfight.
Mig with Phazotron (Spear) airborne radar, which is capable of simultaneously tracking 8 targets and engage 2 of the 8 target tracked ,missile such as Vympel R-27. Russian advertise has claimed that this version is equivalent to early F-16. It performed well against F-15 and F-16s of the USAF during Indo-US joint air exercises, surprising American pilots
Indian pilots claimed the "kill ratio" was 4:1 in their favour
the sound of it is just orgasmic.... my ears are in heaven lol
People have no problem judging the F-14 based on four shootdowns in two different combats. They consider it an excellent plane. The MiG-23 wasn't perfect, but the ultimate judge of a combat plane is not how well the pilots like flying it, or how well executed is, but whether it could win the war it is built to win. In the context of the Cold War, I think the MiG-23 would have been a huge problem for the West. Its ease of construction and low cost are just as important as other characteristics.
That takeoff certainly sounds super loud; I'd estimate around 175 decibels or so. Nothing to be near without earplugs/earmuffs.
Beautiful airplane.
Very nice! Thanks!
yea... beautiful and unique...
Love it , great aircraft .
It is not a great aircraft, believe me it is a "flying coffin", that´s what we called it.
@@AndresLopez-ve3io Did you pilot the mig 23 ?
@@Pavlo2175 Yes, I did, 35-38 years ago.
old school!
Sinkies
Nice, there is no much mig-23 videos out there
Hear that afterburner kick in !Do not underestimate the russians.
The Hummer H1 Alpha is my dream since I am small boy !
it's special model with big tires and now I want to instal Predator 800 hp conversion
with nitrous !
It's expensive ! but I wait so long time for have it !!!
A big 4x4 for the price of ferrari !
My friends say that i'am crazy !
I love millitary car / plane / boat .
NOW it is the only one. #8107 Crashed yesterday :'( !!!
@dafty97 About maneuverability, I doubt it. About top speed and ceiling, sure. Also, much more stable than the F-16 aerodynamically. The 23 requires less training than the 16.
beautiful airplane ever...
Pilots flying it out of the Nellis Test range were,WRONG?
Look for many years the USAF gave the Mig 23 Flogger a lot of respect.
I believe they even referred to it as the "poor man's" F4 Phantom,a pretty good compliment back in the 1970's. However upon receiving a black market Mig 23 to give our pilots authentic training over Nevada,the report card on this aircraft from Aggressor Sq. pilots was not good. They didn't even feel safe flying it.
The article was in Air Force Mag. a few years ago.
What you said about the MiG was true, but I can guarantee you no recorded F-15s were shot down. Otherwise, people would know about it.
The only reason that F-18 went down was because the AWACS operator was not doing his job properly and never gave him clearance to engage. This resulted in the Foxbat firing a missile and despite the pilot's best efforts (and the best efforts of the aircraft) the missile hit.
@dafty97 No. The Mig 23 is comparable to the F-4 Phantom.
Damnn those mig23... 15 yeras god blees time
🇷🇺😎❤🕊🔥
Does this MiG 23 hav the original Tumanski R-29 (I think its the r-29!!!) engines or is it using the underpowered export Tumanski engines?
it says in the description next to the video ;)
daamn, that noise!
The MiG-23 can actually defeat the MiG-29. I read that MiG-23s were used as aggressor aircraft in testing against the Fulcrum, and while the pilots of the Fulcrums were relatively new pilots, and the Flogger pilots were veterans, it's still something that this "out of date" jet can defeat a more modern fighter. They used hit and run tactics, similar to how AVG(Flying Tigers) P-40 Warhawks took on the more nimble Japanese Zeroes over China in WW2.
@dafty97 i think u mean MIG 29. i heard some stories mig 29 was beating f16 but idk if i need to believe.
Is that Dave C. flying?
MiG-23 = 800 gallons/hour nominal, 70 gallons a MINUTE in burner.
MiG-23 was NEVER supposed to be equivalent to the F-16 .. LoL !! If anything, it was a Russian answer to the BVR capability of the F-4, a capability the earlier MiG-21 lacked. Like the F-4, however, the MiG-23 was optimized for high-speed, beyond visual range combat - NOT for traditional dogfighting. A pair of Libyan MiG-23 were shot down by a pair of Egyptian MiG-21 when they allowed the encounter to close to a range where the manoeuvrability advantage of the MiG-21 became the deciding factor.
+George W. Bush The former US president must know
The Cubans in Angola with MIG-23ML shot down one South African MIrage F1, and the other escape from the fry in time!.
*F-16 originally lacked any BVR capability.
Yes, Original MiG-23 was an answer to F-4. The later marks of MiG-23 however were perfectly fine in close combat, given they were flown properly.
George W. Bush وو
@@19Koty96 Absolutely. The last Soviet incarnation of the 23 - the MLD was cabable of sustained 8,5G turns and sported the R-73 missile with helmet mounted cueing system.
@dafty97
1st example: US F-16 (late production, fully equipped) should be vastly superior to Iraqi MiG-23 (export versions with downgraded avionics and equipment), however during the 1991 Gulf War both were equally unable to score an air-to-air-victory, though not for the lack of trying: for instance, USAF F-16 fired 36 Sidewinders, without scoring a hit!
Russians realized MIG 23 was outdated and realized it might be a good fighter bomber. So they created MIG 27. The russians didn't like the configuration. They have a prefence to SU 24.
thats 127 kN afterburner in your face
More like 122 kN or even less.I think the two seater had a less powerful engine than the single seater. The ML/MLD variant had the upgraded engine providing 127 kN. Still, the word is it would outaccelerate the f-16 at around transsonic and supersonic speed.
@Lovricc c Do you have anything, even remotely intelligent, to say?
@Lovricc c Get a life, troll.
Nice afterburner trail
Latest modification MLD and MLA where good fighter's
This is up for sale, I wish I had the money to buy it...
I have never seen mig 23s. I saw mig 29 only.
A couple of seconds on the T/O flight.
Kolbola, to be honest I have never physicially seen a MiG-23, just a lot of reading about it.. I would have figured that Egypt would have received better aircraft than "inferior" castrated models considering they were in active combat against the IAF. It doesn't make sense to me on one hand to provide the services of MiG-25R's to Egypt and then back it up with second-rate equip. ? Again, based on the testimony of Agressor Squadron pilots, Lets hope this guy in Del. didn't get an "export" model.
@hectiky Dude.. are you kidding? You must not go to air shows, man. We got LOTS and LOTS of foreign aircraft here! Not flamin' or nothing. Just one MiG fan to another. At my home field, we have 2 CJ-6A's and an L-39.
North America is the place to be to see awesome warbirds. Australia is a pretty close second, from what I've heard.
hermoso
What the price of your plane ? because i want to buy Mig-29
I can buy this aircraft at less than 100.000 USD
so i don't know if it's a good plane ?
and sincerly i prefer 2 engine !
(now i have single engine plane).
The fuel consumption is 2000 l/h ? No ?
2x more that L-39
Does anyone know if this bird is still flying in the US?
I like the red star on the tail.
paint it in camo scheme and you can go around playing pranks on NATO pilots ;)
Anyone know the status of This particular aircraft
thats why f 16 pilots that flew it said it completely out accelerated the f 16 and f 18. Not as good, but def a rocket.
An F-4 rival. An extreme set of all the highest technologies of it's time like an F-4 and same poor combat record.
Ah..the great Mig-23
1. Eaten alive by the entire IAF over the Bakaa Valley
2. Retired at about the same time as the much older Mig-21
3. Redesigned into the ground attack Mig-27 because it failed as a fighter
4. Test flown at the Nellis Test Range in Nevada by the USAF. Pilots commented it was a visious aircraft to fly...bordering on unsafe if pushed to the limit
For me,hearing the 24,500 lbs of the J-75 in the F-106 at take-off is unforgetable
Although I'm hearing stories about the F-35!
@vai2iant how do you know it is mig35?
Sorry if I offended you CrazyFinn. That wasn't my intention. I was only expressing my dislike for the Mig 23. Wasn't trying to offend anyone in particular. Sorry.
Bingo, yes, that's it, the SU-24. I had the wrong jet. Good call, man. It's almost like they stole the damn blueprints straight off the F-111 plans. Too similar just to be coincidence, huh?
especially since its engines where designed for power, unlike airliner engines.
Funny, only the migs are known for issues. The SU 27 is the only based fighter jet (and the variants) that have the least amount of issues. The Mig 29 series on the other hand.....
And they sell like hot cakes. Just look at the countries that operate them.
u dont neccesarily have to be a pilot to fly one, if ur rich enough pay 10000 USD and you could have a ride in a latest fighter of your choice like the Mig 29 or Sukhoi 30
