Purchaser of this trip will experience the thrill and excitement of being a fighter pilot in a light attack fighter in air-to-air combat. This basic air combat maneuvers program (phase I) is totally unique. This is not an air combat simulator and you don't need a pilot's license!

This trip includes coach class round-trip air fare for two people on American Airlines within the contiguous United States and Canada and four- nights hotel accommodations for two at the Hyatt Hotel or Resort of your choice of any participating Hyatt property.  The fighter pilot experience is for one person only.  One additional combat flight certificate can be purchased upon request. 

This experience will provide an introduction to Tactical Fighter Maneuvers 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 five to six combat engagements. Your flight will be recorded on video-tape and reviewed in a flight debriefing.  A copy of your recorded experience will be provided for you 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 SIAI Marchetti SF-260 and Extra 300L propeller planes, the types used by the military in training their fighter pilots. With 260-300hp, the aircraft are capable of airspeeds up to 236 knots, 6+ G-forces and are highly maneuverable giving you the most realistic air combat and fighter pilot experience available.

There are just two participants in each class. Since you will be suited up in a flight suit for this activity, you may wear whatever is comfortable for the air temperature. We suggest rubber-soled shoes (i.e. tennis shoes work well). Get a good night's sleep and avoid an overabundance of alcohol the night before your flight. Guests may sit in on the briefing and watch as you take off and land. Missions are conducted approximately 25 miles from the airfield so guests will be unable to view the actual flight. The instructor will fly the plane during take-off and landing.  Pilots must weigh less than 250 pounds and stand no taller than 6' 7".

Specific trip dates and locations for 2012 have not been established at this time.  2012 dates and locations will be similar to those used in 2011 - over 25 U.S. cities with multiple date options for each location.  Purchaser will select a desired location and specific dates limited only by availability at the time of selection.  This package includes round-trip coach class service for (2) from any American Airlines destination in the 48 contiguous United States or Canada to anywhere American Airlines flies in the 48 contiguous United States or Canada, subject to availability.
