You should allow to be with us between 2.5 and 3.5 hours.

You and your opponent will be kitted out in high quality military flying suits. You then choose your call-sign name badge (“Maverick”, “Iceman” etc) for the day.

At the briefing, you will be taught how to fly aerobatics and air combat manoeuvres. The briefing includes a detailed safety/parachute brief.

You are then ‘ready to walk; and will be  matched into Top Gun “pairs” with your “opponent” guest.

You will be strapped into your parachute and then receive another aircraft safety brief.

Our flight experiences are delivered as Air Exercise 3 of the PPL syllabus by qualified Flying Instructors, and include a safety brief and explanation of how the flying controls operate.  You will be shown how to fly the aircraft yourself under close supervision of your Instructor, even if you have never flown in a light aircraft before.

• You sit side-by-side with your instructor.
• Formation take-off (2 aircraft)
• Formation close manoeuvrering in the climb
• Learn effects of aircraft controls and aerobatics manoeuvres
• Time for an air combat mission against your opponent – take the controls and shoot the bad guy!
• Return to Base – fighter pilot rejoin to land.
• Time in the aircraft is around 40 minutes (25 minutes in the air)

Flights involving aerobatics and formation may involve greater risks than simple sightseeing trips, and guests will be required to sign a disclaimer to confirm that they understand and are comfortable with this. Ultimate High has flown 35,000 guests over 25 years with a perfect safety record.

Following the completion of your air combat mission, exit aircraft and talk about how great you were!

Debrief and review of your air combat results with your instructor, who will issue your flight certificate, including amount of G-force pulled and the number of “kills”.

There will be an opportunity to purchase a 360 degree video of your flight.
