The visibility out of the cockpit is horrendous in many of the Russian designed fighters. I would not want to enter a fur ball flying this aircraft. Take a look at the F-15C and P-51D canopy/seating positions for examples of what an air-to-air fighter pilot needs. We would run the seats up in the F-15 until our helmets just cleared the canopy for maximum visibility. Sitting like that we would get a magic carpet ride effect. Ah, the good old days.
