About this activity
Recon: This 10-minute flight takes you low over the beautiful mountains and valleys of San Diego on an adrenaline-pumping flight. Catch great views of the surrounding sights and see the San Digeo skyline from above!

Afterburner: After being picked up by van from select locations in San Diego and transported to Gillespie Field, you'll have a 15-minute briefing on aerobatics. You'll ride along with a pilot and experience dynamic low level flying and basic aerobatics including loops, rolls and stalls.

Top Gun Experience: Upgrade to the Top Gun experience and you'll fly the plane! After your arrival at Gillespie Field, you'll have a 30-minute briefing in aerobatics and high-G maneuvering with your pilot.Then you'll suit up and begin your 30-minute Top Gun flight. Fly with an actual fighter pilot and learn the art of basic fighter maneuvering. You'll fly in the most advanced aerobatic airplane in the world, the Extra 330LC. With a certified flight instructor in back, you are taught aerial combat skills, complete with high-G maneuvering and military maneuvers. You'll do basic low-level maneuvering and aerobatics including loops, rolls, stalls and spins before ending with advanced aerobatics like snaps rolls, hammerheads and tumbling.

Air Combat Experience: Upgrade to the Air Combat tour for up to 50-minutes in the air! Bring your buddy and you can test your skills against each other. Under the supervision of a highly trained fighter pilot instructor, you are the one at the controls, you are the one squeezing the trigger and you get the satisfaction of scoring a hit on your opponent. SCA utilizes all of the latest technology to give the wingman the most realistic simulation possible, including a gun reticle, an electronic targeting system that triggers “smoke on”, and complete visual coverage from 4 different angles including repeater displays in both the front and back seats.

After your flight, relax at the SCA hanger and swap stories with actual combat fighter pilots. This experience, from start to finish, is truly unforgettable.

Unbelievably awesome!!! I've jumped out of a plane, bungee jumped, but this one is the thrill ride of a lifetime! Getting to take controls of a combat plane is like no other experience! Then the pilot does some acrobatics for you at levels you can handle...I got up to 8.5 Gs! Unreal! Must do for any adrenaline junkie!
