Live your fighter pilot's dream as you carry out two separate missions at the controls of the mighty Marchetti SF260. This is the closest you'll get to feeling like a real military pilot as you spend the ultimate day at flight training school learning the ropes from former fighter pilots. You'll be controlling the plane as you carry out up to 10 aerial maneuvers including formation flight, lead and lag pursuits, oblique and vertical turns and displacement rolls. Find out what it's like to deploy a serious military plane for its real military purpose before putting your skills to the test in your own tactical mission.
Forget air combat computer games, this is the real thing. Your feet won't touch the ground for weeks!
You'll learn basic Air Combat Maneuvers in a program that lasts a full day. The experience includes two missions with 10 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.
Fighter Pilot experiences are available on pre-scheduled dates throughout the year. Unfortunately, the scheduled dates for this location have already passed.
