Unique Experiences

Item Description

Are you up for the challenge? Do you have what it takes to be a Fighter Pilot for a Day?

As the guest pilot, you will get to fly a real military fighter alongside a licensed fighter pilot in the cockpit. All aircraft are outfitted with three high-end digital multi-camera systems to capture your fighter pilot experience, as well as a tracking system that verifies an air-to-air “kill”.

You will be briefed beforehand on basic fighter tactics, Rules of Engagement, and the physiological effects of G-forces. Then you’ll climb into the cockpit with an instructor pilot for the thrill of a lifetime! You will practice formation flying, basic maneuvers and engage in 5-6 dogfights.

The entire experience is recorded on a mini-DVD from three onboard cockpit cameras. The tapes are used for de-briefing purposes and are yours to keep.

Your 2.5-3 hour Top Gun Experience includes:

• Fighter pilot mission experience for one person on the SIAI Marchetti SF260 or the Extra 300L
• Briefing on the Rules of Engagement, the physiological effects of G-forces, practice with formation flying, basic maneuvers, 5-6 dogfights, and debriefing afterward
• A mini DVD that records your entire flying experience from 3 onboard cockpit cameras
