MiG-29 Startup Sounds Like A Beast

Awesome Startup!

This video captures the full sequence of flight preparations, engine start-up, takeoff, landing, and shutdown of a Polish Air Force MiG-29 (tail number 70) during Spottersday at Kleine Brogel Air Base. The aircraft is seen performing a demo rehearsal flight en route to Sanicole Airport, located roughly 10 miles away.

What’s particularly striking is how compact the MiG-29 appears at first glance. But when compared to aircraft like the F-22, the difference is surprisingly small—just about two meters shorter. It’s fascinating how an aircraft’s design and silhouette can influence our perception of its size.

The MiG-29, with its sharp lines and powerful presence, remains one of the standout fighters of its era. From the crisp start-up sequence to the precise maneuvers during the flight, this footage is a treat for aviation fans.
