Fly With A Fighter Pilot Weekday

Fly With A Fighter Pilot Weekday

The Fly With A Fighter Pilot experience is undoubtedly and deservedly one of Extreme Element's favourites. The dream of every schoolboy can be achieved here in the wonderfully responsive Bulldog. This low-wing monoplane is a military special and is used by 10 different Air-Forces. You will fly with an ex-military pilot in a plane that has once been equipped with rockets and machine guns on its underwing hardpoints! The expert instructors will spectacularly demonstrate how to perform a range of aerobatics that are sure to raise an unshiftable grin from ear to ear. The instructors will perform a range of stunts such as loops, aileron rolls, barrell rolls, cuban 8's and many, many more. Then it is your turn, take the controls and play out your childhood fantasies of flying with a fighter pilot!

Agenda

Once you have arrived and been welcomed to the centre on your weekday flight you will be provided with refreshments whilst fitting your Top Gun style flying suit. You will then receive a full pre-flight briefing which includes all safety and parachute procedures before a basic lesson on how to perform aerobatic stunts! An ex-military instructor is on hand for one- to-one discussion's to explain how extreme your experience is going to be. Now for the all important flight! Once in the skies your instructor will go through the aerobatic manoeuvres you are going to try, including the techniques required to execute these correctly. Now its your turn to take the controls and attempt these incredible stunts! Feel the G-force as you try loop the loops, barrel rolls and many more. Then its back to base for a personal de-brief with your pilot, including the number of G pulled and a signed flight certificate for you to keep!
You can purchase a DVD of your flight for an additional £49.
