Item Description

You're in for a Winning Combination of Thrills in Mesa, Arizona for Three Days & Two Nights at the Courtyard Phoenix Mesa with Economy Class Air, Including a Half-Day Advance Air Combat Mission and an Exotic Supercar Driving Experience for One

Become a Top Gun by emerging victorious from an advanced air combat mission! Then show everyone that you're the ruler of the racetrack as you take it to the limit in an exotic supercar at Arizona Motorsports Park! You'll soar through the skies in a world-class German-built and FAA-certified Extra 300L as you participate in eight air combat engagements, including three scored neutral-engagements for the prestigious Top Gun, Aero God and G-Monger awards, as well as unlimited aerobatics; and demonstrate your need for speed on land in your choice of a Lamborghini, Cobra, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche or Audi R8!

Get ready for the most authentic advanced air combat experience anywhere, no experience necessary! At the time of booking, you will receive an air combat tactics manual to review prior to your adventure. Upon arrival at the squadron, you will be greeted by friendly staff, receive your customized leather call sign, and get suited up in your flight gear. Fully briefed on modern tactical air combat maneuvers, you and your fighter pilot instructor will step to the aircraft to get strapped in for your mission. The flight profile begins with a formation take-off to the training area where you’ll warm-up with advanced handling, weapons usage and basic aerobatic maneuvers. The first five g-pulling air combat engagements utilize both offensive and defensive tactics against your opponent. Then it's combat time for three adrenaline-pumping scored neutral head-on engagements against the adversary. The mission culminates by splitting from your opponent to fly unlimited aerobatics under instructor guidance. An exciting formation high-speed low-altitude pass down the runway marks your arrival to base and impresses family and friends watching from the observation deck. The mission is debriefed with an overview by the instructors while simultaneously playing both videos for all to view the flight first-hand.

Back on land, spend some time with the world’s most exotic and mind blowing supercars like Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche! After a 20 minute welcome and chalk talk session that will teach you some basic track craft, the chief instructor will take you on a track familiarization tour and give you some tips on car placement, visual cues, braking points, the racing line and more. Then it's your turn to take the wheel and drive a smooth-running, high-horsepower, adrenaline-pumping dream car! Take an intoxicating ride doing laps around track at the Arizona Motorsports Park with your racing coach at your side! Whew, what a ride! Time to check this world class experience off your bucket list!
