Default Flight Package

I was forwarded this ad, but would like to know if anyone knows of the outfit that is doing this.

Quote:
Bought this flight package but will be unable to use due to time constraints. Package value $1100, but just looking to unload it so its not a total loss.
Can be used in many cities around the US. List of cities available on request.

As the guest pilot, you will get to fly real military fighters alongside licensed fighter pilots in the cockpit. All aircraft are outfitted with three high-end digital multi-camera systems to capture your fighter pilot experience, as well as a tracking system that verifies an air-to-air "kill".

You will be briefed beforehand on basic fighter tactics, Rules of Engagement, and the physiological effects of G-forces. Then you'll climb into the cockpit with an instructor pilot for the thrill of a lifetime! You will practice formation flying, basic maneuvers and engage in 5-6 dogfights. The entire experience is recorded on a mini-DVD from three onboard cockpit cameras. The tapes are used for de-briefing purposes and are yours to keep.

Your Top Gun Experience includes:
• 1 fighter pilot mission experience for 1 person on the SIAI Marchetti SF260 or the Extra 300L, including briefing on the Rules of Engagement, the physiological effects of G-forces, practice with formation flying, basic maneuvers, 5-6 dogfights, and debriefing afterwards
• A mini DVD that records your entire flying experience from 3 onboard cockpit cameras

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: Participants must weigh less than 250 pounds and be no taller than 6ft 6in. Deployment dates vary by location. Dates are subject to change and new dates may be added. No pilot's license is required for guest. First-come first-serve basis, so there is no guarantee that you will get your selected city; you might want to select a second choice in a nearby city, if possible. Some locations require a six month lead time to secure a date and time. Travel is valid until December 2012

Default Skywarriors - Charlie Brown Field T34

I was lucky enough to do something similar in 1991. Cost then was 650. 0 hours flight time. Did some formation work out to the practice area, gun tracking, then 3 merges, using hi yo-yos to get on the other guy's tail. We also did an overshoot/reversal and some acro between merges.
