I heard some guy named Welshki went up just minutes before and did it in a regular Mig.

He was flying the one only Lavotchkin La 176, and being kind of a fan of the La jets I see La-186's all the time in Soviet era footage usually in flight and in programs about the Mig 15 because it's a swept wing (abeit shoulder wing not mid body) T tailed Russian jet and the producers have no idea the type exists, they use it in representative footage of the Mig. In a lot of ways it was superior to the Mig 15 but was a very complex design and difficult to build and maintain.

P.S. he did it in a shallow dive-

On reading the thread's title, I thought that it was about a Russian, with similar personality traits and social skills... glad to be wrong about this one.

Press "1" for English.
Press "2" to disconnect until you have learned to speak English.

Sooooo, how am I going to know to press 1 or 2, if I do not speak English????

Never properly certified, so doesn't count!

And the Tu-144 got it's Russian type certificate dated Dec. 32nd because the Government said it must fly before the end of that year 1968 to beat the CONCORDES T.C. date.
