Our PREMIUM experience.
From age 12.
The TOP GUN Experience at maximum intensity: the night flight.
Equipped with your Night Vision Goggles (NVG), you fly in total darkness. Every manoeuvre, every air combat engagement, every carrier landing takes on a new dimension when the sun has gone down and your only reference is the green image through your NVG.
Suit up, take your seat in the twin-seat cockpit and take off alongside a real (ex-)fighter pilot. He briefs you, guides you and takes you through a night sortie exactly as combat crews experience it.
From age 12.
One-on-one against a real (ex-)fighter pilot. One objective: win the fight.
Your instructor briefs you on BFM fundamentals (Basic Fighter Maneuvers), the close air combat techniques taught to military fighter pilots worldwide.
You take off in tight formation, then the engagement begins.
Multiple passes in offensive, then neutral setups. After every pass, your pilot assesses your performance, corrects your errors and drives your progress. The turning fight demands anticipation, precision and composure under pressure.
A real air combat lesson in an F-16. Demanding. Addictive.
