If you’re excited that the Blue Angels are back in town for Seafair this week, this video is for you.
This fighter jet appears to be doing a regular takeoff, until the pilot flips the switch and literally takes the plane into rocket mode, launching it vertically.
The Russian-built fighter jet belongs to the Polish Air Force. The maneuver, according to CNET, occurred during the Royal International Air Tattoo. YouTuber TopFelya posted the footage of the MiG-29 to YouTube this weekend. Enjoy.
