Finally I was realized my dream of getting inside the forward fuselage at the Aviation Hall of Fame of New Jersey. This Convair 880 was the third off the San Diego line and delivered to TWA in January 1959. A huge thank you to Shea and John for taking the time and trouble to allow me inside this beautiful relic. Only four 880s survive in the world today. This little museum, located at Teterboro Airport, has several one-of-a-kind aircraft, including the only Lockheed Bushmaster, the only Martin 202A, and the world's first hovercraft. Awesome museum with a great staff.
Well, guys, this is our last list related to the military aircraft that are flying right now. We have brought to you many amazing state of the art aircraft that are defending their country’s air space day and night with the talented pilots manning these aircraft. Some of them are decades older but they are still operating in this modern age of technology is a testament to their advanced systems which were ahead of their times. So let’s end this journey with the last list of Military aircraft that are flying right now (part 5). Mikoyan MiG-29 aka “Fulcrum” Mikoyan MiG-29 is the multirole jet fighter that is currently serving in the Russian air space as their first line of aerial defense. There are literally no other 4th generation jet fighters like MiG-29 and the Su-27 that strikes the fear in the heart of the F-16 fighter jet pilots like these two. The aircraft was designed and manufactured during an era when the need for a multirole jet fighter was indispensable for the mission objective. The aircraft is one of a kind when it comes to stealth attacking as many countries have reported the air strikes from an alleged MiG-29 especially during the Georgian Crisis of 2008. During that time, Russia denied the existence of any such aircraft to be making attacks on their behalf. In the current times, however, the aircraft is set to be replaced by the new and upcoming fight generation jet fight MiG-35 which is supposedly a counter to the US F-3 5 Lightning II. B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber The B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber is the strategic stealth bomber that has been serving the USAF since 2015. The B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber was built with a concept to replace the US army’s aging fleet of the B-117 and B-2. The primary target of keeping these longs range strategic bombers in the fleet of and Air Force is because they can easily evade the detection of any radar by flying at extremely high altitudes as well as make a delivery of a nuclear ordinance before even the air defenses of the enemy are scrambled. The B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber looks quite similar in design to the famed B-2 in its avionic design. The aircraft only has a minimum amount of information related to it as most of its program has been funded and carried out in complete secrecy. McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II has been serving for the air force of both US and UK since 1985 as their Ground attack jet fighter. Although the McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II has been actively retired from the active duty of the RAF, it has still provided a huge leap forward when it comes to aeronautical engineering. The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II belongs to the Harrier family of jump jets which are able to make VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and landing) to provide the possessor a great close air support option along with ground attack capability. The aircraft served for the UK and US for nearly 20 years and is still in the service of US. The aircraft saw major action during the Persian Gulf War where it made may distinctive contributions. It is still under USAF’s banner for the war on terrorism being carried out in Afghanistan and Iraqi region. The McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II is set to be replaced by the new and upcoming fleet of F-35B. Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor The Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor is stealth jet fighter which has air superiority and is serving for the USAF since 2005. For an enemy of US, there is nothing scarier for them than to see suddenly a Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor at a close range. The reason is that their aircraft which is a 5th generation stealth jet fighter has minimal radar cross section making it nearly impossible to be seen at radar. The Lockheed-Martin F-22 Raptor underwent several revisions until it was approved for the active duty in US military. The aircraft with its Mach 2.2 speed and other state of the art avionics has earned itself the title of being one of the coolest jet fighters of modern era. Eurofighter Typhoon The Eurofighter Typhoon is not a project of single country neither it is serving for any single country. The aircraft is a multirole jet fighter that came into being as a joint product of the innovation form the Germany, France, and UK’s aviation engineers. The aircraft has been serving for the air forces of all three of these countries since 2003. All these countries were in need of a jet fighter that could keep up with an increased demand of a modern jet fighter with complex electronic warfare capabilities. The design of the Eurofighter Typhoon is quite similar to the Swedish air force’s Saab Gripen as well with the design of French Dassault Rafale. The aircraft falls in the category of the Mach 2+ speed aircraft family and can provide better of its capabilities for not only land but also on naval missions. Shenyang J-31 aka “Falcon Hawk” The Shenyang J-31 which is also known by its nickname of Falcon Hawk is the stealth class multirole jet fighter of the Chinese Air Force which has been serving in active duty since 2018. The Chinese fight generation multirole stealth jet fighter has been under speculation of the aviation experts of the western powers as to what truly is the aim for the Shenyang J-31 or also known by its other moniker ‘Snowy Owl”. In one recent air show in China, the Shenyang J-31 was seen to be maintaining its altitude based on the power provided from the afterburners. Instead of keeping this stealth fighter to themselves, China seems to be willing to export this aircraft on a wide range to other countries. Aviation experts have confirmed this aircraft to have a reduced radar cross section which is even more reduced when compare with the 4th

The Mikoyan MiG-29 is a twin-engine jet fighter designed to serve the previous Soviet Union and now Russia. Its NATO operating name is Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum. The aircraft was developed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau for air superiority back in the 1970s. The aircraft alongside Sukhoi Su-27 was designed to serve the Soviet Union to have the fighter advantage over the US fighter jets like McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The Mikoyan MiG-29 entered in official service for Soviet Union’s Air Force back in 1982. While the Mikoyan MiG-29 was originally designed for combat against the enemy’s aircraft, the later Mikoyan MiG-29s were furnished for multirole purposes to perform several missions while using its air-to-surface armaments and precision munitions. The Mikoyan MiG-29 has been designed to present various variants like the multirole Mikoyan MiG-29M and the navy oriented Mikoyan MiG-29K. The most advanced member of the family is the Mikoyan MiG-35. In the later models of this aircraft, several of the following improvements were made. Improved engines Glass cockpits with HOTAS compatible flight controls Modern Radar system IRST Sensors Increased fuel capacity Aerial refueling capability After the Soviet Union dissolved, several of the Soviet allies continued to operate their Mikoyan MiG-29s and the largest one of them being the Russian Air Force. Although the Russian Air Force has plans to upgrade their fleet of Mikoyan MiG-29s to a more modernized Mikoyan MiG-29SMT; financial difficulties are in the way of this upgrading. The Mikoyan MiG-29 is also one of the most favorite exported fighter jet in the world; India being its largest exporter. Last reported in 2013, he Mikoyan MiG-29 is still in production by Mikoyan’s subsidiary company; The United Aircraft Corporation since 2006. For our readers today, we have gathered a bunch of amazing facts about the Mikoyan MiG-29 which are as follows. Air Superiority:- The Mikoyan MiG-29 is a result of the hard work of two decades performed by the Soviet Aeronautical engineers and designers. This twin-engine aircraft was developed for the air superiority against the US fighter jets and is continuing to live up to that purpose as it has superiority over the following jet fighters. F-14 Tomcat F/A-18 Hornet Dassault Mirage 2000 The aircraft is able to have deft maneuverability which is further enhanced by its superior trust-to weight ratio; making it the best response to Western fighter jets. First flight and Entering the service:- The first prototype of the Mikoyan MiG-29 was completed by the Mikoyan Design Bureau back in 11977. The aircraft was ready for its first flight back in October of 1977 and took the skies with a roar back on October 6th, 1977. The aircraft its first service was sent for further design changes and the mass production started in 1978. By July of 1982, the first fleet of the Mikoyan MiG-29s was in the service of Soviet Union’s Air Force. Combat Proven:- The Mikoyan MiG-29, after the Soviet Union dissolved, was opened up by the Russian Federation for export to few of the main countries. Iraq Iran Syria India The most combat action that Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum saw was during the following two conflicts. Iraq War; used by Iraqi Air Force Iran-Iraq War; used by both countries The aircraft is known for it’s near flawless fighter jet combat experience for both air and ground threat. The testament to it combat prowess is that the Russian Air Force, till this day uses the Mikoyan MiG-29 but its upgrade versions. The design of the Mikoyan MiG-29 has also been the influence for Russia’s fifth-generation multirole fighter jet; MiG-35. MiG29SMT:- According to the Russian Air Force, there are still many old Mikoyan MiG-29s that are being still used by the Air Force. The estimated number of these Mikoyan MiG-29s is about 600 when last reported back in 2011. The Russian Air Force is planning to upgrade this legacy Mikoyan MiG-29 fleet into Mikoyan MiG-29SMT which will give them new and improved engines that will have the afterburning thrust capability of 18300 lb/ft each. In addition to new engines, the weapon bearing load capacity will also increase along with better avionics to help the pilot conduct the missions smoothly. Engines:- The Mikoyan MiG-29 is powered by two Klimov/Sarkisov RD-33 turbofan engines that produce a combined dry thrust of 22200 pounds or 37258 pounds with afterburner. Speed and Range:- The maximum speed of the Mikoyan MiG-29 is Mach 2.3 making it able to fly at a speed of nearly 2450 kmph on its maximum altitude. The aircraft has a ceiling height of maximum 60000 feet or 17000 meters while its range is about 1100 miles or 1770 kilometers. The Mikoyan MiG-29 is a single seater fighter jet. Unit Cost:- The unit cost of the Mikoyan MiG-29 is 29 million US dollars. The aircraft is reported to be one of the most favorite exported aircraft in the world with Ida being its primary exporter. Firepower:- The main feature that makes Mikoyan MiG-29 one of the best fighter jets in the world is its ability to fire missiles that can strike air-to-air targets well beyond the line of sight. This is the fighting capability which makes Mikoyan MiG-29 superior against the F-16. This air superiority was made prominent during the 1999s ‘Kargil War’; operation ‘Safed Sagar’ when a new Indian Air Force’s Mikoyan MiG-29 interpreted a Pakistani Air Force’s F-16C over the border region of Kashmir. The Mikoyan MiG-29 was able to safely escort the Mirage 2000 to its objective as it outmaneuvered and locked the Pakistani F-16C even long before the F-16 was in range. Nuclear Role:- The Mikoyan MiG-29 is without a doubt an air-to-air warfare asset which is also capable of carrying Nuclear weapons. While it is still not the ideal platform for long-range delivery; it is still able to deliver the nuclear payload in medium ranged attacks. The maximum payload capacity of Mikoyan MiG-29 is about 10000 lbs which makes it ideal for being a surgical and precision
