Short final, curvilinear -- pretty good for an Air to Air guy.

The end looks photo shopped.

I guess it could be. I've never seen a strafe pass from that angle for so I have no frame of reference to draw from.

I dunno...the time from muzzle flash to "impact" is about right for a 2000-ft slant range....

I need to research where the gun is located on the MiG-29.

Edit: I just looked again. You're right; the muzzle "flash" looks decidedly phoney.

Second Edit: The single-barrel 30mm cannon IS in the left wing root, so if they photo-shopped it, they did a little research.

Surprised they didn't run out of fuel.
