It's the Ultimate Top Gun Experience in Mesa, Arizona for Three Days & Two Nights at Courtyard Phoenix Mesa, Including a Half-Day Advance Air Combat Mission for One Person (Land Only)

Become a Top Gun by emerging victorious from this advanced air combat mission! No experience is required for this flight profile, but be prepared to show everyone what you’ve got. This experience includes 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, all on a world-class German-built and FAA-certified Extra 300L!

Get ready for the most authentic advanced air combat experience anywhere! 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.
