Getting ready...just one week until EAA Oshkosh--one of the largest airshows in the world🇺🇸 I asked Grok4 to analyze MiG-29 from brake release at SLF to a Falcon 9 from ignition. The Falcon 9 overtakes the MiG at ~T+77 seconds at ~50,000 feet. Does Grok math checkout Scott Manley?

I'd need to either spend a lot of time with performance figures, or, do some actual experiments. But it's a fascinating comparison, F9 has higher TWR, but the MiG 29 can build up speed horizontally then convert that to vertical speed with its wings. F9 wins initially, MiG then passes it for a while, but the MiG eventually runs out of air.

@EAA @DJSnM Oshkosh lifelong resident here, I love that you love coming here. Will you be part of any of the airshows?

@EAA @DJSnM Flying in show on Tuesday.. but probably doing some post-show flying Monday and Weds. No 'jet box' so can't do full aerobatics, but should be fun.

@EAA @DJSnM You are the only person in the world to have experienced both (and maybe some crew members of the Inspiration 4 and Polaris Dawn missions?) That is awesome 💪

@EAA @DJSnM Jared buzz the tower plz

@EAA @DJSnM EAA becomes the busiest airport in the world.

@EAA @DJSnM st Louis plane spotting is great this time of year…

@EAA @DJSnM 🔥🔥 That's so sick

@EAA @DJSnM One of my favorite memories was flying to Oshkosh with my dad every year Line up and wait

@EAA @DJSnM Wow, so cool…Jared are you flying that Mig? Is that you there?
