Aerial Combat Experience

The Flight

Over your 35-40 minutes in the air, you'll make manoeuvres such as loop the loops, inversions, and high G turns (up to 8.5!), vertical ascent, and much more. And the best of all: you'll be the one piloting the plane, supervised of course by a professional combat pilot.

As well as the acrobatic manoeuvres, you'll fight up to 5 combat battles, and make a low altitude pass, simulating bombardment. During the air battles you can shoot your adversary (with a laser) and the plane will emit smoke, falling in a tailspin. Totally realistic!

This wild ride is obviously only for the most intrepid!

Not enough excitement?

If you feel like all that isn't enough, you can add the pack with advanced manoeuvres, including moves such as the hammerhead, the Cuban eight, or the 'abracadabra' - and you'll miss nothing: by reserving the option with advanced acrobatics the flight time is extended.

Plane

The plane for this experience is the Extra 330LC: with 330 horsepower, speeds of up to 400 km/h and certified to take up to 10G it's the most advanced aerobatic aeroplane in the world.

Security

The plane has two seats, you sit up front, with a professional pilot behind, and it's him who will take the controls to correct any error which you might make - but don't worry - these planes are easy to fly!

Requirements

The requirements for this tour are that you weigh between 36 and 122 kg (80 and 269 lbs, 5.7 and 19 stone) and be less than 1.98 metres (6 foot 5). You should have no heart problems, neck or back problems, or suffer from motion sickness. This activity is not suitable for pregnant women.

As this is an aerial combat, it should be taken by two people. If you are only one, you'll fight against an instructor flying the other plane, which will involve a supplemental charge.

Photo and Video

The plane has 3 cameras installed, one at the front, another on the wing and a third focussed on your face. If you want the video of the experience, you can purchase it there and then.
