A low-level MiG-15 over the Mojave Desert - with hydraulic failure


A French pilot, Corentin Larose, went for a flight over the Mojave Desert in California in a MiG-15UTI two-seat fighter trainer aircraft (Korean War vintage), accompanied by another pilot.  The footage he shot of the flight is excellent, but it's made even more interesting by a hydraulic failure en route.  They managed to land the plane safely, before the failure made the aircraft non-recoverable.
