What's included?

30-minute combat flight
Pre-flight and post-flight briefings

Climb aboard a genuine ex-military fighter trainer for a heart-racing 30-minute combat flight, 5,000ft above Melbourne's Port Phillip Bay, complete with full pre-flight and post-flight briefings from a qualified pilot. Depart Moorabbin Airport in tight formation, flying wingtip to wingtip with your opposing aircraft, before peeling away to hunt each other through the clouds for a thrilling aerial experience.

As part of the crew, you'll scan the skies for the enemy, call out the moment there's a bogey on your tail, and cheer your pilot on as they line up the winning shot, watching as smoke plumes from your rival's aircraft.

Had an awesome experience, thanks to Matt. He was fantastic in talking through what he was up to in the front there. He also went out of his way to demonstrate the capabilities of the CJ. The sortie gives you an appreciation for just how demanding being a fighter pilot in a prop aircraft would be, and in turn how much more demanding a fast jet would be. The accuracy of flying was probably a highlight for me. I would not however recommend this as a first acrobatic experience in an aircraft, as all the manoeuvres are "stacked" to simulate chasing an aircraft who is evading, be prepared to have to focus hard to keep a line of sight on the other aircraft, whilst attempting to stay orientated. That being said it was made clear that if you were feeling uncomfortable then you can tap out at any time. Thanks again Matt, hammerheads are awesome!

My partner Rob enjoyed his 60th birthday voucher (from me) yesterday for his 30/7 birthday finally.. post lockdown. He had a fantastic time, and Matt was always keeping in touch before yesterday, so professional! Both Matt & Anatole were great, fun, friendly and I would fully recommend!! Thanks so much.........A great memorable experience for Rob!

Aerial Dogfighting- what's not to love?

Alan 10 September 2017

Was a little unsure I would enjoy the flight as I have been very lucky to fly a Mustang in the US. How wrong I was, I had so much fun! Being up there with another plane, flying in tight formation and then breaking off to chase one another through high G manuoevres was a special feeling. Thoroughly enjoyed my flight, would recommend it, and will probably do it again

Fantastic experience

Nick 8 January 2017

Fantastic experience

Andrew 9 August 2016

The flight experience was an amazing experience. The flight definitely had the adrenaline pumping as the plane was looped, rolled and inverted over the skies of Melbourne.

AWESOME

Dave 31 July 2016

Really professional and friendly staff and a seriously intense experience

Great experience

Brad 7 February 2016

A great experience flying in formation with another, then performing dogfight style manoeuvres behind and in front of the other aircraft. Then some solo aerobatics and return formation. Would have been slightly better to have a small 'hands on' fly. In general a great memorable time had.
