Ultimate Top Gun Experience - Weekdays

Ultimate Top Gun Experience - Weekdays

Fancy yourself as a Maverick or an Ice Man... then this is the experience for you! The Ultimate in Extreme Experiences, this is most definitely not for the faint hearted! You will be flying in the Extra300 - the world's top performing two seat Aerobatic Airplane, with you sitting in the front and the instructor sat right behind you. The 300bhp light-weight aircraft allows for the most intense of Aerial Stunts to be performed, and with the expertise an Ex Military pilot behind, you'll be encouraged to 'Take Control' and pilot the majestic machine.Once you have mastered some of the skills, you'll be engaged in an Aerial 'Dog Fight' where you'll be aiming to shoot the plane in front down! (with smoke and the skill of the pilot in the other plane - it sure looks real!)

The aircraft used is the Extra300 - the world's top performing 2man aerobatic plane (This plane can pull tighter, fly faster and pull more G force than the Bulldog)
