With the jet exhaust at overhead level, that sucka has got to be LOUD inside.

OTOH, it's not apt to suck up junk from rough airfields.

Don't the over wing engines help with short field performance?

Not to mention the size of the engines.

But hey, you're Russian so deaf is good, you don't have to hear the BS all around you.

I love the instrument panels on MIGs. Zinc Chromate primer and no black finish.

Like cutting the cost of paint will make the aircraft more affordable.

The Tu-94 Bear was REALLY loud. The counter-rotating propellers' tips were supersonic at cruise speeds. All old Tu-94 crews are deaf as stumps.

It was so loud that it was bothersome to crews of our interceptors 100 meters away!
