Forget wasting money on Vegas spas or loafing around the pool and go visit Sky Combat Ace for an incredible experience you will never forget. My buddy and I (and one other guy) chose the Top Gun package and the three of us got briefed by Stroke (Dir of Ops) in the state-of-the-art briefing room, where we received our pilot handles "Toxic" (me) and "Cobra" (him) and "Bama" (other dude). Everything was clearly explained and we were ready to get flying. The pilots Stroke (mine), Hollywood, and Buzz made us feel very comfortable as we were getting suited up and having our pics taken before getting in the planes (which, by the way, were almost new and in top shape). Then the adrenaline starts to flow as we take off and fly in formation to the aerobatics spot a few miles south. The first stunt is a loop at 2G's to see how it goes. What a rush! I tell Stroke that was awesome, and he says "you have the controls" and I fly the loop myself (part of the Top Gun package -- highly recommended!). Didn't think I could fly a plane but apparently I can! Next up is the barrel roll. WHOA. Spinning sideways like circling a barrel in the sky. Feeling good, I fly the barrel roll myself. This is unbelievable! 4G's are pretty intense for this non-pilot but I'm determined. Lots of time to do more stunts like hammerheads and spins, so off we go. After a while I'm feeling a little queasy so Stroke levels off and we watch the other 2 planes do some stunts ("we go as far as YOU want" is their motto). Then some fantastic low-flying through rough terrain -- literally feet from the ground -- then we all "dive-bomb" a target in sequence, and then a calming return to the airport and a smooth landing. I'm high when I get off the plane and the feeling lasts for a long while as my buddy and I compare notes on the thrills we just experienced. Wow.
Like I said, book your flight with these pros and do something you will NEVER forget!
