Barnstorming Adventures San Diego Top Dog Air Combat Flights Information...

Fly Real Air Combat in Real Aircraft! Just like you've seen on TV and in the movies. Except you'll be doin' the yankin' and bankin'! This is hands-on, heart pounding, adrenaline pumping dogfighting. No pilot's license required--just guts! Many of our pilots are active duty Marine Corps and Navy pilots. Now hear this: Launch aircraft! Bogey, 12 o'clock high...rat-a-tat-tat...Splash one! 

After takeoff, as we go feet wet at the coastline, we turn aircraft over to you so you can get the feel of the controls enroute to "enemy territory." Once in our operating area, we'll demonstrate an engagement and the maneuvers we discussed during the briefing, and then turn it back over to you for 3 full-on, claws-out dogfights. Afterwards we return to base, and generally fly the overhead break or perform a section landing. 

Whole thing takes about 1.5-2 hours. Pre-flight briefing is 30-40 minutes, man-up, strap in and cockpit checkout is about 15 minutes. Flight is 35-45 minutes. Debrief takes 10-15 minutes. 

Go ahead, make an Ace of yourself!
