Default RE: What model as a first jet?

If you can fly a heavy prop warbird you will have a very easy time with the Mig as your first jet. The problem with the Mig is that is a bit more complex than others, and you might not need that additional burden for a first jet. They are lightly loaded, handle very well and you can slow them down. I wouldnt even think about a Euro for a first jet, can pretty much be assured that you will get behind the power curve on a landing and end up with holes in your wings. It is a BIG delta and when the AOA comes up with the power down it sinks-fast. Now all that being said my first turbine was a BVM T-33 Ram750 combo. It survived quite a while, even long enough for me to sell it. Scotty
