Going up in a fighter jet has been on my bucket list since I saw Top Gun in High School - that was before "bucket lists" even existed. I bought the flight at an auction and did my flight in Ft. Worth, Texas.. I thought it would be great to just have the experience, but when I got there and... More

You really have to do the FLIP school. Starting out you learn basic horizontal flight engagements. There isn't much dogfighting for the two pilots in the first flight. During the second flight (FLIP school, same day) we learned inverted maneuvers and "Smudge" explained that most fights are won in the vertical. 4 heads-up engagements after FLIP school (because we spent...

I booked a fighter experience and flew to Irvine using about half my frequent flyer miles, figuring it never rains in the southwest. Wrong. I arrived late Friday, and it was damp and cloudy, and only got worse for Saturday, the day of the adventure. Awful luck. Not that it was anybody's fault. But I emailed them of my angst,... More

I thought my flight last year was a blast, but I flew against a licensed private pilot and in retrospect, he did not put up much of a fight. This year I challenged my 3 adult sons and it was an experience never to be forgotten. I flew against my middle son, and we tried to tear the wings off... More

I received this as a birthday present and attended Air Combat in Kankakee, IL. I had never flown a plane in my life. The instructors were great and explained all the aspects of flying that we needed to be prepared to experience. During one of the dog fights we pushed the plane to the limits, hit 4 G's and stalled... More

Receiving my private pilots license 40 years prior (but not kept current) I presumed I knew what to expect when I signed up for Air Combat at N.Las Vegas airport. Wow was I wrong!! The pre-flight training was superb - but then we took off. The adrenalin rush - the thrill - it was so amazingly overwhelming - the skill... More

I attended Air combat USA Fullerton on the 23rd of June as part of a 3 week holiday that took us to New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bora Bora and Washington. First I have to point out that I am a racing driver, so have experienced some pretty intense adrenaline, but nothing equals this experience! as my pilot for... More
