Las Vegas Aerial Combat

What can I expect from an aerial combat experience in Las Vegas?

In Las Vegas, you’ll step into the cockpit of a real aerobatic aircraft like an Extra 300 and engage in a simulated dogfight over the desert. After a detailed pre-flight briefing, you’ll learn basic fighter maneuvers before taking to the skies where you’ll chase, evade, and “lock on” to your opponent using advanced targeting systems for an immersive combat experience.

Do I actually get to fly the plane during the experience?

Yes, one of the highlights of Las Vegas aerial combat tours is that you get hands-on control of the aircraft under the supervision of a professional fighter-trained instructor. You’ll perform real maneuvers and actively participate in the dogfight, making it far more interactive than a typical scenic flight.

How long is the aerial combat experience in Las Vegas?

Most Las Vegas aerial combat experiences last around 50 minutes of flight time, with additional time allocated for briefing and preparation. The total experience typically runs a few hours, giving you plenty of time to train, gear up, and fully enjoy the mission.

Where do Las Vegas aerial combat flights take place?

Flights typically depart from North Las Vegas Airport, just a short drive from the Las Vegas Strip. Once airborne, you’ll head out over the vast Nevada desert, providing a safe and open environment for high-energy maneuvers and aerial combat engagements.

Is any prior flying experience required to participate?

No prior experience is needed. These experiences are designed for beginners and thrill-seekers alike. Professional instructors guide you every step of the way, teaching you the basics before the flight and assisting you throughout the dogfight to ensure both safety and maximum excitement.
