Description
This experience gives you an introduction to fighter pilot training using the actual skills taught to current military fighter pilots. After being fitted with a full flight suit and completing the air combat briefings you'll climb into the fighter aircraft alongside your instructor. With your hands on the controls you will engage in a minimum of six combat engagements. Your flight will be recorded on video-tape and reviewed in a flight debriefing and we'll even give you a copy to take home at the end of your amazing day.
The instructors, both military and civilian, have enviable credentials. Most are former military fighter pilots from the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps, and several are graduates of Red Flag and the Navy Fighter Weapons School. This fighter pilot experience features Marchetti SF260 as these are the planes used by the military in training their fighter pilots and so it will give you the best experience. They are capable of 260mph, +6 G-forces and are highly maneuverable giving you the most realistic air combat and fighter pilot experience available.
