If you are looking for an exciting experience, look no further, air combat is for you. This is new and unique in Europe! You can become fighter pilot for a day. Engage your enemy during a laser air combat dogfight in France. This is a unique aerial combat experience, done over the vineyards of Bordeaux. After a full morning briefing about flying techniques and air combat, you will be the top gun pilot engaging in a real dogfight. Each aircraft is equipped with a laser targeting system and smoke system. Aim, shoot, and see your rival aircraft smoke as you hit the plane. This amazing experience is done near Bordeaux in France. This is organised by real fighter pilots who will teach you the basics and will be in the aircraft with you to guarantee your safety.

In the morning, you get a full briefing about flying techniques, presentation of the aircrafts, dogfight and aerial combat techniques. This is followed by lunch with the pilots. And then the flights and combats in the afternoon. Two flights per person. Each flight last between 40mn to 1hour depending on resistance and strength of participants. Live a unique and extraordinary experience as you engage in a real air combat experience. Each flight follows a mission designed from the start of the flight – see below the variety of missions you can choose from.

1st mission :

The planes take-off within 10s of each other. Tight formation flying (1 to 2m). Evolutions in formation flight. Follow your leader – one aircraft follows the other within 3s, in formation (enables to get practice for future combat maneuvers) – then switch roles
Offensive set-up: Plane 2 positions itself 100m and 45° behind Plane 1: fight is on. Learn to master trajectories and targeting. When Plane 2 is hit, switch positions.
Various offensive set-up are repeated.

For security reasons, controls of the aircraft are held by the fighter pilot when in Leader position.

This air combat experience is unique in Europe. You take the controls of the aircraft under the guidance of a professional military fighter pilot. Prepare for a unique mission. Another aircraft is your sight, get closer and engage. The dogfight can start! Each aircraft is equipped with laser guided systems and smoke systems. Target the aircraft, aim and shoot. The system will acknowledge if your fire hit the aircraft. If so, then smoke appears from the aircraft. It feels real. It looks real. This is truly amazing. The team is made of professional fighter pilots, some still active in the French Air Force. Most have been in real combat in Europe, the Middle East and Afghanistan. Their experience is extensive and they have a real passion to share their know- how and experience. Want to know more ?
