Is that a mirror on the canopy of the MiG 29?

Best Answers

It's a mirror for a periscope used by the instructor (sitting in the back seat) to see the runway on landing. As reported here, two-seater versions of MiG-21 and MiG-23 also have the same feature. In this picture, the periscope is, in fact, clearly visible on the back seat's canopy. read more

Paul A Allcock is correct: the 2-seat trainer version of the Mig-29 was not able to engineer in a significant height difference from front to rear cockpit, as you might see on other trainers. To give the instructor in the rear seat an acceptable view in critical phases of flight, a periscope is installed. read more
