Air combat USA
Picture yourself strapped into your fighter aircraft, high above California, when suddenly out of the sun comes a bandit. Sweeping into a banked roll you come round on his tail, line him up in your gunsight and let him have it!
What does the activity include?
The air combat programme allows civilians (either pilots or non-pilots) to experience the exciting adrenaline rush of 'The Dogfight' in a real military trainer prop aircraft, all under the guidance of instructor pilots. This unique experience includes:
After arriving in LA you have the rest of the day at your leisure to relax on the beach or explore the many shops, bars and restaurants.
The next day, you will be taken to the Air Combat base. Upon arrival you will be kitted out with your own personal flight suit and receive a briefing on the format of the course, safety and tactics. Each 'Pilot' then picks his opponent from the group and throws down the gauntlet with the challenge of an aerial Dogfight!
Once airborne your pilot will give you time to acclimatise. This is a very hands-on experience so once in the air you will be doing 90% of the flying! With the aircraft able to pull an incredible +6g and -3g you'll need to focus hard on first sighting the enemy, then pre-empt their every move before arming your weapons systems and going for the kill. A direct hit will register with real life sound effects and a dramatic trail of smoke.....Amazing!
During the course of your flight you will learn a series of air combat manoeuvres including:
- High and low Yo-Yos
- Lead, lag and pure pursuit
- Gunsight tracking
- Physiological effects of "G" Force
The next day is set aside purely for relaxation and time to reflect on your uniquely exhilarating experience.
