- <p> The offer from the Soviet barnstormers is for the well
- heeled, not the fainthearted. For a mere $10,000, the American
- air-show buff can now buy a few minutes of thrills as a
- passenger in a MiG-29 Fulcrum, the U.S.S.R.'s hottest jet
- fighter. A few intrepid customers have signed up for rides
- ranging from a gentle swing around the airfield to a serious
- workout at 1,500 m.p.h. The thrills start this weekend at
- Massachusetts' Westfield-Barnes airport and then continue at
- shows in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Texas, Kansas and
- California.
