Top Gun Experience - Weekends - £399.00

 

  • Engage in the sport of kings - dog fighting!
  • An ex military pilot at the controls
  • A certificate to remember your day with

Fancy being involved in a simulated dog fight in an aircraft that is used by Air Forces around the world? Thought so. This is the experience for you. You will be flying in The Bulldog which is a low-wing monoplane used by 10 different Air forces, some of which equipped it with rockets and 7.62mm machine guns on underwing hardpoints. Top Gun! Your ex-military instructors will demonstrate a formation take-off and close formation maneuvering before teaching you how to fly aerobatics yourself. After you have flown some aerobatic maneuvers, you will be introduced to tailchasing - the sport of kings!

On arrival you will be provided with refreshments before kitting out into your flying suit. You choose your call-sign name badge ("Maverick", "Iceman" etc) for the day before attending a full pre flight briefing which includes all safety/parachute procedures, and how to fly aerobatics and air combat (yourself!). It is now time for your flight! This will include a formation take-off (2 aircraft), formation close maneuvering in the climb, demonstration and practice of effects of controls and aerobatics maneuvers, 'Hands on stick' time - opportunity for you to fly some aerobatics yourself, demo & practice tail-chase with other aeroplane - 'shoot the bandit' & smoke! Finally your instructor will talk you through return to base. Your experience will finish with a full de-brief and the presentation of a certificate to keep as a memento of your day and the opportunity to purchase a DVD of the day for £45.
