Overview
 Your adventure starts as you don full flight suit and helmet, strap yourself in, final mission brief, then feel the awe of the jet spool up. 4000 pounds of jet will thrust you into the atmosphere where you co-pilot tactical maneuvers and get a slice of life as a jet fighter pilot.

Description
 Your Tactical Fighter Mission involves a guided tour of the L-39 Jet Fighter, full mission flight and safety briefing, 40 minutes in the aircraft and 25 minutes airborne.

In full flight suit and helmet you'll climb aboard your Fighter Jet. Your pilot will help you strap in and involve you in the final brief. You'll be guided through the start procedures - feel the awe of jet spool up. Complete the checklist and taxi for takeoff. Then 4000 pounds of jet thrust will launch you into the atmosphere. With speeds of up to 910 km per hour the L-39 is the sleekest and most modern jet fighter conducting adventure flights in Australia.

Your Tactical Fighter Mission will begin with a climb to the maneuvering area of up to 11,000ft. You are co-pilot - one to one with your pilot - your flight is interactive and customised.

You can commence with "G" warm manoeuvres then move on to live the high performance of the L-39 Fighter. Tactical aerobatics at low and high "G". Rolling maneuvers - loops - Cuban 8's and vertical rolls.

Then descend to the low level operations area to experience the high speed tactical low level dash before cruising low back to the airfield. An action slice of life as a jet fighter pilot.

Our flights are conducted by the best of the best, former World Aerobatic Champion, or current RAAF pilot, both with over 30 years flying experience.
