Fighter Pilot for a Day Donated by Case Construction Equipment
Off we go into the wild blue yonder... Your mission: work with your instructor to outsmart, outmaneuver, and outgun your opponents over the course of six "g-pulling" dogfights. You will be manning the controls of a real, fully aerobatic, high-performance aircraft. After attending a full briefing covering formation flight, gun sight tracking, and aerial combat maneuvers, you will don your flight suit and board a current production fighter aircraft. Once airborne, your instructor pilot will hand the controls over to you as you engage your enemy in actual combat!
Imagine yourself scanning the skies in a real military aircraft in search of an enemy airplane. You spot the bogey at 3 o'clock, break turn hard and the fight's on. Up, down, and around. Pulling G's, making quick decisions until you out maneuver your opponent, put the gunsight pipper on them, squeeze the trigger. The enemy erupts in smoke and you roll up and away, victorious! Your entire flight is captured on mini digital video cassette to keep the memory alive for a lifetime.
