Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a real fighter pilot? Well, here's your chance to find out.
Discover the mindblowing thrill of taking the controls of a powerful Marchetti SF260 on an airborne adventure that's as close as it gets to feeling like a real ‘top gun' hero.Spend the ultimate day at Fighter Pilot training school as you gain first hand knowledge from the best of the best and carry out up to 6 actual maneuvers used by the military.
Smash the sound barrier in an aircraft that can pull +6 G forces without breaking a sweat before giving it your all in a simulated dogfight that's breathtakingly close to the real thing. Think you've got what it takes to slice the air in a military weapon capable of 260mph? There's only one way to find out.
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.
