Here are two videos showing a transfer and operations of Polish MiG-29’s during the Baltic Air Policing mission which is a NATO initiative of conducting air monitoring of the Baltic region.
I suppose this gives us quite realistic view on how it feels to be in Fulcrum’s cockpit over the Mid-Eastern Europe. The unmodified sound in the video makes it even more close to the real flight, allowing us to hear the engines working.
Note that the MiG-29s in the video are armed with four R-60 (AA-8 Aphid) air-to-air short range missiles and carry an external fuel tank.

The second video gives an even closer impression of flying, as the camera is mounted on the pilot’s helmet.
