Description

If you watched the hit '80s movie "Top Gun" as a kid and wanted to be a fighter pilot just like Tom Cruise, now's your opportunity of a lifetime. 

On this flight to remember, you'll learn from one of the school's professional fighter pilots. After your tutorial, get ready to board a top-of-the-line aerobatic Extra 330 LC or open-top Waco YMF-5C. With your certified flight instructor guiding you, you'll learn the art of aerial combat as well as military maneuvers. You'll even get a chance to score a "hit" on your opponent. 

The After Burner flight includes up to 25 minutes of flying. After a 15-minute briefing on aerobatics, experience dynamic low-level flying, basic aerobatics (loops, rolls, stalls and spins) as well as an advanced air show routine (hammerheads and tumbling). This flight pulls up to eight times the force of gravity. 

Total tour time (including complimentary transportation) is approximately two hours, hotel to hotel.
