Air Combat USA Fighter Pilot
Experience the thrill and excitement of air-to-air combat in Air Combat USA’s Basic Air Combat Maneuvers Program (phase I).
After being fitted with a flight suit and completing the air combat briefings, you’ll climb into the cockpit of a high-performance Marchetti SF260 airplane alongside your instructor. Capable of 260mph, +6 G-forces, and highly maneuverable, the Marchetti SF260 is the same type of plane used by the military to train its fighter pilots.
Air Combat USA instructors have enviable military and civilian pilot credentials. Most are former fighter pilots from the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. Several are graduates of Red Flag and the Navy Fighter Weapons School.
With your hands on the controls you will engage in a minimum of six combat engagements. Your flight will be recorded on videotape and then reviewed in a flight debriefing. You’ll receive a copy of the videotape as a memento of your amazing day.
The package entitles: one person to a fighter pilot for a day experience, and two people to hotel accommodations and airfare.
Restrictions: Pilot’s license is not required. Participant must weigh less than 250 pounds and stand no taller than 6’ 7”. Valid one year from event date and subject to availability. One additional combat flight certificate can be purchased upon request.

Things To Know
Each class has just two participants. You will be suited up in a flight suit, so 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 not be able to view the actual flight. The instructor will fly the plane during take-off and landing.
