Let’s fly jet fighters !

Monday, July 2nd, 2012
We have been offline for a while, because we have been flying our jet fighter too much ! We were a bit frustrated as our L39 Albatros went for maintenance, then the weather kept being bad, but now, it’s all clear! The weather is fine again and we are having a lot of fun flying the jet around. You have been many to fly with us since the beginning and we thank you for the support and the passion that drives you. Thank you also for the pics and videos we have received, we will try to put them onlRead More....

Fly a fighter jet

Monday, December 19th, 2011
It’s almost the end of the year, so before we get to it, let us wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 2011 has been a fantastic year for us. We are thrilled that so many people, sometimes from really far away, travelled to come and fly in our jet fighters. This means a lot to us as it fulfills our passion. We love to share our passion and you have been so many this year to encourage us. So here are a few pictures of 2011, and we hope you will come back with friends and families in 2Read More....

The Rafale has lost again

Monday, December 5th, 2011
The Swiss army, who had a bit of spare cash to buy some brand new jet fighters, decided it would go with Saab’s Gripen. This jet fighter has proved to be one of the best exports of Sweden’s military industry. Sweden has many of them, but also do the UK, the Czech Republic, Thailand, South Africa, and now Switzerland. Added to the aircrafts are many layers of partnerships and technological transfer and support. So far so good, but the French who were pushing the Rafale on the deal, are now anRead More....

Fly a jet fighter in winter

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011
Winter is coming and we can feel the cold slowly but surely getting there. Fall is not the best month to fly a jet fighter because the weather is changing rapidly, the ceiling is very low, and it rains many days of the month. Winter on the contrary can offer some exquisite flying days. Ok the sun is not always there, and it may snow, but when the sun comes out and clears the sky, you get a pilot’s dream sky with a very pale blue sky, beautiful snowy scenery, a comfortable temperature in the coRead More....

Gavin Ramjaun of ITV flies our jet fighter in France

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011
We had a fantastic time welcoming Gavin Ramjaun from ITV Daybreak, in France. He came to experience the thrills of a jet fighter ride and what it feels like to be a fighter pilot. This experience was organised by Performance Entertainment and Warner Bros for the launch of the Green Lantern DVD in a few days in the UK. And it was a fun day. We are getting used to camera crews, and it is quite funny to see the presenter rehearsing and then doing his bit. Then the serious stuff started… We gotRead More....

The F-22 Raptor is back in the air

Wednesday, September 21st, 2011
As jet fighters are concerned, the F-22 Raptor is simply the best. So we were a bit surprised to hear a few months ago that this incredible jet fighter was grounded because of oxygen problems. The system actually did not work on several occasions causing hypoxia for some pilots who nearly crashed due to the lack of oxygen in the cockpit. This problem was so serious that the F-22 Raptor was grounded for 4 months, which is a very unusual move. But it reflects the positive view of the US officials Read More....

Jet fighter ride for Ace Combat

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011
We had a fantastic time last week with the presentation of the Ace Combat Assault Horizon new video game to the press. We were thrilled to participate, and more importantly to get the reporters in the cockpit of our jet fighter. The aim of the event was to get a feel of what it means to be a fighter pilot, to feel what a pilot would feel when engaging in combat. So we got the reporters in our Fouga Magister, so they could take the controls a little bit – which they enjoyed – and then pushed Read More....

Jon Egging will be missed

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
We would like to have a thought for Jon Egging who died at 33. Jon was one of the best pilots in the world, and crashed his Hawk T1 after a demonstration of the Red Arrows at the Bournemouth Air Festival in Dorset, England. Jon was part of the elite of fighter pilots jets. He joined the Red Arrows in 2010 and was Red 4, flying on the right hand of the Nine Diamond Formation. We are all saddened by this loss and our thoughts go to his family and friends. Earlier in the year Jon spoke to his localRead More....

fly a jet fighter the 10th and 11th Sept in Abbeville

Monday, August 29th, 2011
Save the date: we will be flying the Fouga Magister in Abbeville on the 10th and 11th September. This is good news for anyone who wants to experience a great jet fighter ride – the Fouga Magister is simply awesome – but also for a unique chance to fly on the coast. I mean, along the coast, just meters above the waves, and along the white cliffs of the Channel. A 30mn jet fighter flight is enough to get you to the coast from Abbeville, whereas it requires a one hour ride from Beauvais, where Read More....

Getting ready for air combat

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011
As we mentioned earlier, we are now preparing for a great new flying experience: dogfighting. And to finalise our operations, this summer we went to see some friends in California to see how they were doing it. And we have been reassured as we have had some tremendous fun flying and fighting, just like in air combat. In California, two outfits are doing dog fighting. One with L39 Albatros jet fighters – Mach One. The experience is great, and you have a pilot assisting and looking out for all tRead More....
