instead of decommissioning old fighter jets cant we

[red_baron]

instead of decommissioning them cant PAF make some setup of this sort like civilians can ride them ofcourse as passengers by paying Rs10,000 or Rs 15,000 like i read in russia such stuff goes on where u can pay to take a ride in MIG and fly at an altitude of 15,000 meters,experience speed of sound....like i am sure we can employ a couple of mirage's or f-6 for this cause and i would love to ride one ofcourse as a passenger

 

[FreekiN]

i would pay that amount.

too bad that amount would only pay for 3 minutes of its fuel...

also, you dont need a bunch for that, you only need 1 or 2

the russians might be using dual seaters [pilot infront/passenger on back seat]

 

[red_baron]

ofcourse 3 minutes is more then enough like taking a vertical climb while taking off and then breaking the sound barrier while coming in for a landing like just around the airfield...that enough to experience like the money can be used to maintain those planes...it would work as moral booster too

people can video tape their experiences ,passing out while pulling G's and put them on jewtube

Yeah, in Russia someone did have that service, and a girl I know even traveled in it, which she called uncomfortable. The pilot did not break the sound barrier, and remained at Mach 0.94-0.97, the same speed at which majority of the passenger jets fly at 10K meters. That business later died out because a train was built connecting that area, and people preferred the train to the jet because it was cheaper and more comfortable. So, when you fly only one person at a time, with not so much comfort, I don't think you can make a lot of money with it.

 

[red_baron]

i am sure they can work on it......we can attract tourists too...ofcourse that plane wont be operating from military base but from private airfields.. or skardu airport....it can be a hit in northern areas with its topography
retired Paf Pilots can be inducted to run the business

 

[:lol:]

its a costly mistake! We are not talking about a cessna aircraft,but war planes! The maintenance,storage etc will cost a lot!
