Keep Calm & Lock On

Duration

1 Hour 15 Minute Session [30 Minute Class & 30 Minute Flight]

FOX1 Fighter Pilot Experience

Leave the civilian life behind and step into the world of the fighter pilot. Be sure to listen closely in the class where you’ll learn the important stuff. Once in your cockpit, adjust your headset and you’ll be cleared for take off. When you hear “Fight’s On, Fight’s On” – it’s furball time and we’re keeping score! Fly high, fly low, try everything to prevent being hit. Finally, try to catch your breath before you land your jet and then join the instructor for your scoring debrief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any age and height requirements?

• Due to the nature and amount of information given in the pre-flight briefing and the ergonomics of the cockpits, the minimum age is 11 and minimum height is 4′ 11.″ We have no maximum age, however pilots do need to be able to climb up a four-step ladder and climb into the cockpit as well as climb out at the end of their flight.

Are there any height and weight limitations?

• We have a maximum waist of 43" because it's a size issue, not weight. We have had professional basketball players fly successfully (David Robinson at 7’1″).

How should I dress for my flight?

• We suggest wearing light clothing since you will be putting on a flight suit and might get fairly warm.

Do I need to have any experience?

• No experience is needed. We provide all of the training you will need in our 30 minute pre-flight briefing. During your flight you will be on aviation headsets with our Air Traffic Control personnel who will answer any questions or remind you of anything you may have forgotten or missed in the briefing.

Is there an observation area where people who aren't participating can watch?

• Yes, we have an Officer’s Club where anybody can watch and listen to the exciting action on video monitors while sitting on comfortable sofas and chairs.
