In this video, we take to the skies in the Golden Key Studio (GKS) MiG-21 Bis, within Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS).

We'll be looking to recreate some of the testing that took place at Groom Lake (Area 51), as part of project "Have Doughnut". A former Iraqi MiG was flown under evaluation by both the US Navy and Airforce, to better understand the aircraft's strengths / weaknesses and how these could be exploited by US fighter pilots. The findings from these tests, ultimate lead the Navy to develop their Fighter Weapons School - "Top Gun"!
