For my birthday my family gave me an Air Combat experience and I can not recommend enough. The staff was very friendly, professional and incredibly knowledgeable. Both pilots were veteran pilots with decades of experience. My trainer pilot was Nails and he was awesome!! Both pilots were great thou. If you're looking to be a combat pilot for the day,... More

My pilot for the Combat mission, Bluto, will understand the review title as will my opponent's pilot Smudge. Bravo Zulu is Navy communication short form for " WELL DONE!". Truly the program was that. From the pre-flight briefing to the flight and return to base. I just wish I had known then what I know now so it could have... More

The closest I have ever been to a cockpit is sitting in first class in a commercial flight. But I bought the Experience at an auction and had a pilot friend buy a slot so we could fight against each other. My pilit friend was over the top excited for the day, and in the end, it completely exceeded his... More

Everything was done in a First Class, Professional manner!! I'm a Naval Jet Carrier Pilot and this flight was as real as it gets!! My Instructor, Tom Safford, was superb and the Video provided perpetuates the especially exciting memory of the most spectacular Birthday Gift that I've ever received!! Muchas gracias!!

When I was ten years old, I knew I wanted to be a fighter pilot. For various reasons, it never came to be. Even though I learned to fly single-engine planes 25 years ago and have done some aerobatics, that nagging desire to test my skills in the ultimate duel in the sky has never waned. So this year, after... More

What an adventure, flying out of Fullerton Airport to engage in air to air battle over the channel between San Pedro and Catalina Island. Though I love to fly, I must admit, as most people would be, I was slightly concerned or perhaps intimated of what exactly my adventure may entail, dogfighting, acrobatics, parachutes, g forces and that other little...

What a great time. My leader was Nails, 68 years old and the G's did not even bother him. The best high speed roller coaster in the world and I won 2 battles. I would recommend to anyone wanting to feel the speed. I am going back for more soon! John Post More

What is the perfect gift for a man? No, what is the ultimate first anniversary gift for an amazing husband who has given me everything in life? My husband and I just had our first anniversary and I wanted to come up with a unique, special gift that reflected our relationship. Surf lessons? Nah, I'm having way too much fun... More

Everything about the experience exceeded my exceptions. The pilots were experts and the aircraft was well maintained. The dog fight was a blast and we ended with some aerobatics. The pilot let me fly most of the time! I'd do it again! More

After 3 events and 18 dogfights I will be going up again. There is nothing like pulling 5G's while being inverted and chasing your opponent! The instructor pilots are all ex-military pro's. You can't make any dangerous mistakes and the video you get afterwards is remarkable. More
