This 30 minute air-to-air combat mission gives you the opportunity to live the dream of learning to be a fighter pilot. Learn the basics of modern air combat maneuvering, both offensive and defensive, and engage in actual air-to-air combat.
Upon arrival to the squadron, you will receive a loaned leather call sign (which you may choose to purchase at the end of your experience) and get suited up in your flight gear. Fully briefed on tactical air combat maneuvers, you and your fighter pilot instructor will step into 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. Then it’s “Check Six!” as you fly 5 g-pulling air combat engagements in a “Show and Do” profile utilizing offensive and defensive tactics against your opponent.
The flight is culminated with a thrilling three-dimensional smoke chase, each aircraft alternating “lead and follow” positions across the sky. An exciting formation high-speed, low-altitude pass down the runway marks your arrival and “wow’s” family and friends watching from the observation deck. The mission is debriefed by recreating your tactical flight using the multiple-view video and in-flight notes evaluating shots and tactics.
You will receive an in-flight video at the end of your experience. The video is an MP4 file and is put on a CD. This video is included.
