Sky Combat Ace

If you ever get the chance and are in Vegas give this a try. I did the top flight mission and it was a riot. The pilot would pull off a stunt and then hand you the controls to give it a try. I flew out, did rolls, loops, barrel rolls, a hammerhead, and then flew back. Between that we did some cartwheels, tons of rolls, a flat spin, and flew backwards for a bit. Also before we flew back we did a low level bombing run through the canyons. A bucklist item for sure.

I want to go back next year and do the dog fight package now. I mean hell I have spent 2k on far dumber things I am sure. The owner "Tex" is also considering opening a shop here in Texas. He was my pilot and the more you told him that you were fine the more he poured it on!





I have a video I just need to get it uploaded.

how long does the ride last for?

[kingjason]

I just looked at my video and it is edited a bit but I would say 20 minutes or so airtime for the Top Gun package at 599.00. I booked the 299.00 intro and then he threw out 200 to upgrade and 25 for the extra fuel. Plus they picked me up in a hummer and dropped us off in a stretch SUV limo. There was a guy from Ontario Canada there and it took him over an hour to get his bearings and be ok enough to go home. The whole deal maybe two hours with a little orientation video, intro ect. The video package is almost as much as the flight but he cut us all a deal if we would purchase it.

When we taxied out a private jet was rolling and he just casually zig zagged around it.

I am surprised that you didn't just exercise civil forfeiture and take the course for free.

Thanks for the heads up.... looks awesome and will definitely do it when I go back to Vegas.

You won't regret it. Tex is a retired F16 pilot so you can imagine he can put one of these into some odd positions and recover. Oh and Mexican food for lunch is not a good idea. If you want they will give you a 8g pull out of a roll and see if you can not pass out. That is a pretty funny video also.

Yeah, I can imagine the video someone had as he's doing those barrel rolls looking like a washing machine full of Campbell's Chunky Soup set on Agitate.

Oh and did I mention the Electric Daisy Carnival was in town. Holy shit there were more 20 years olds wearing almost nothing then you could ever see in a life of strip clubs. The bus hub for the event was next to my hotel. Absolutely crazy what they were walking down the street and hanging out in the club in. Shockingly enough most were smoking hot.

They have some gentle sight seeing tours.

I bet his ears are very tuned in for that sound and he straightens right out. After all there is no partition between you and him.

Oh and for anyone trying to convince your wife, just send her on the Mirage Dolphin Trainer for the day. The wife could care less if hookers and blow were involved in my day after that.

That shit would still fuck me up. I threw up on numerous c-130 flights that were pretty mild. It's my Achilles heel lol

[46Tbird]

Whoa, that is bad ass!!

[helosailor]

I must do this.

[Snatch Napkin]

Oh fuck yes!
