A. We recommend that you arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled flight time (there are no penalties for being early), you can take all the pictures you like.



Q. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

A. Your fighter pilot for the day experience starts with an introduction to your sworn "enemy", the person you will be dog fighting with. Together you will both be briefed on safety, and what your profile will look like. ​ We will then brief you on BFM, and start to change into your flight suit, your helmet and the rest of your flying gear. ​ During your flight you will be able to perform turns, straight and level flight, feel the “g”, that is induced during high speed maneuvers. Hopefully, you will come out on top during your "engagement"
After your flight, you can take all the pictures you like, you will be given a quick debrief with your pilot about the flight. You will be awarded your flying swag. (patch, challenge coin, certificate)

The passenger weight limit is 250 lbs and height limited to a person no taller than 6' 3". This limitation is not negotiable. If you have a history, recent or current medical conditions like heart complications a doctor’s note is required in order to clear you for the flight. This would have to be provided before the flight took place the passenger must attend and pass a ground- briefing on the L29 Delfin that includes emergency egress training and verbal testing. You will not be able to fly, if you have not had this brief.
