My entry to BaconAircrafts's soviet aircraft challenge

The Mikoyan MiG-29 (NATO reporting name: "Fulcrum") is a twin-engine jet fighter aircraft designed in the Soviet Union. Developed by the Mikoyan design bureau as an air superiority fighter during the 1970s, the MiG-29, along with the larger Sukhoi Su-27, was developed to counter new American fighters such as the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, and the General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon. The MiG-29 entered service with the Soviet Air Force in 1982.

Operating notes
-Immediately after throttling up for takeoff the plane will begin to pitch up by itself and will continue for a few seconds before the plane can be manuvered to level flight.
