Who and What Is MiGFlug?<\/h2>\n

Behind MiGFlug.com is the company MiGFlug GmbH, with headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland. MiGFlug is a company highly specialized in enabling customers to fly in a real military fighter jet.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

What's the Story Behind MiGFlug?<\/h2>\n

MiG is for the legendary Soviet fighter jets. Flug means flight in German. The idea of MiGFlug came about when Philipp and Flavio were travelling through Eastern Europe during their University years. One epic night in a Moscow dive bar, they met a Russian military pilot and convinced him to take them for a fighter jet flight. Despite the question\u00a0was meant as a joke, one of the upcoming days,\u00a0the pilot smuggled them into a Russian Air Force training airbase and took them on an Aero L-39 Albatros<\/a>\u00a0flight. As unbelievable as it may sound, this is how the company was born! Following this first unforgettable flight, Philipp and Flavio navigated the complex Russian military administration to make the experience available to other aviation enthusiasts. And as demand for flights grew, MiGFlug expanded and now offers fighter jet flights across the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
