Start your day with an expert briefing where you'll learn the tricks of the trade from former fighter pilots. Then it's time to take your mighty warbird for a spin as you squeeze the controls of an aircraft capable of +6 G forces and speeds of up to 260 mph. Carry out a showstopping spectrum of fighter pilot moves before putting your skills to the test in an exciting dogfight that's so authentic, the only thing that's not real are the bullets!
You'll finish your adventure on cloud nine. Take home memories to last a lifetime and a DVD recording of your flight.
You'll learn basic Air Combat Maneuvers in a program that lasts a full day. The experience includes a tactical mission with 5-6 dogfights. You'll use real military aircraft including the SIAI Marchetti SF260, under the guidance of licensed fighter pilot instructors. This extraordinary adventure provides the chance to experience the thrill and adrenalin of flying a light attack fighter in air-to-air combat. The only thing that is not real are the bullets. Fully briefed, you will climb into the aircraft alongside your instructor and you will be in control of the aircraft as you engage in air to air dogfights. Every maneuver is recorded during your flight and the tapes are yours to keep.
Flying is weather dependent and there is also a risk of air sickness. If you are prone to motion sickness, this experience may not be for you.
