skygal3 0 #1 December 9, 2004 Hey all, Am looking into fighter jet flights, as a pedestrian of course :)..need info on where to go and what is the best to fly in. There seem to be a few (aircombatusa.com was recommended first, barnstormers etc.) but not sure what the difference between them is. Anyone out there have any experience to share? I am looking for the best! Thanks W2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gravityizsexy 0 #2 December 9, 2004 you have to do some serious qualifications.... Im 3/5 of the way completed and I've been qual'ing for 3 years... and thats only for backseating.... what type of fighter you looking at? ------------------------------- It took me a while too, because thats not what strictly engaged in. but I mean.... you have to worry about things like security clearence and the what not, especially considering your a civilian.... and I imagine it would be HELLA HELLA expensive...

mountainman 0 #4 December 9, 2004 If you have the money to spare, here is the best place to start IMHO: http://www.incredible-adventures.com/ For a more affordable "combat" experience that won't break the bank, check this out: http://aircombatusa.com/ Those are the best ones I've found. If you do them, be sure to post about it! I'd love to do either or both. They look like a TON of fun! :)http://www.brandonandlaura.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really, that's all it takes. It's your life, live it! Karma RB#684 "Corcho", ASK#60, Muff#3520, NCB#398, NHDZ#4, C-33989, DG#1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerm 0 #14 June 27, 2006 passenger rides only, or can you actually take control for a bit? Landing without injury is not necessarily evidence that you didn't fuck up... it just means you got away with it this time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
