DescriptionOff we go into the wild blue yonder... Your mission: work with your instructor to outsmart, outmaneuver, and outgun your opponents over the course of six "g-pulling" dogfights. You will be manning the controls of a real, fully aerobatic, high-performance aircraft.
After attending a full briefing covering formation flight, gun sight tracking, and aerial combat maneuvers, you will don your flight suit and board the Marchetti SF260, a current production, Italian-built fighter aircraft.
Once airborne, your instructor pilot will hand the controls over to you as you engage your enemy in actual combat!
Imagine yourself scanning the skies in a real military aircraft in search of an enemy airplane. You spot the bogey at 3 o’clock, break turn hard and the fight’s on. Up, down, and around. Pulling G’s, making quick decisions until you out maneuver your opponent, put the gunsight pipper on them, squeeze the trigger. The enemy erupts in smoke and you roll up and away, victorious!
The first half of your aerial battle will be spent hunting your adversary attempting to get a clear shot and kill, while the second half will be spent eluding enemy fire. May the best pilot win.
