As you’ll see in the short video below, renting a jet for your entertainment is totally possible as long as you’re willing to travel to Russia. You heard that correctly: It costs $18,000 to rent an actual jet fighter that would normally be used for war rather than leisure activities. Once inside the MiG-29 airplane, you’ll need approximately 50 minutes to get to 70,000 feet in the air, atop the clouds. And the experience seems to be spectacular.
