Have you ever seen one of those aerobatic pilots at an air show or stunt show, and wondered what it felt like to climb, and dive, or roll and spin, to fly upside down, or experience maneuvers at 3 Gs or more? You can do just that at Fighter Combat International in Mesa, Arizona. This is not a flight simulator--this is the real thing. Whether you are just an adventure loving thrill-seeker, or you are intrigued by military combat, there's an experience waiting for you at Fighter Combat International.

The menu of flying adventures includes:

  • Power Rides. Experience loops, rolls, tail slides, snap rolls, tumbles, inverted flight, spins and more.
  • Super Rides. Same as Power rides, but longer. You'll learn some of the maneuvers and will be able to take the controls for much of the flight.
  • Air Combat Maneuvering. The instructors at Fighter Combat International have real fighter pilot experience, in addition to thorough knowledge and experience of aerial aerobatics. You'll combine the two concepts in aerial aerobatic combat. Yes, you and someone else will train for a dogfight. Then you'll head out to your respective planes (with your instructors) and see who is the Top Gun for the day.
  • Advanced Air Combat Maneuvering. Same as Air Combat Maneuvering, above, with longer flight school, and longer flight time with more engagements.
Tip: You don't need any flying experience for any of these programs. You don't need to bring a buddy for Air Combat Maneuvering; they'll schedule you with someone else.
