You’ll participate in multiple air combat engagements, experience real G-forces, and even take control of the aircraft during flight for a truly hands-on experience.

Do I need any flying experience to participate?

No prior flying experience is required. Your experience begins with a comprehensive ground briefing where expert instructors walk you through the aircraft, controls, and combat maneuvers. During the flight, a professional pilot guides you while giving you the opportunity to safely take the stick and fly.
