FLY IN FRANCE – FIGHTER JET FLIGHTS AND WARBIRD EXPERIENCES

Fly a fighter jet in France and discover what it feels like to be in the cockpit of a military aircraft. With locations across the country, we offer the chance to experience high-performance jet fighter rides in the L-39 Albatros and Fouga Magister. Whether you’re dreaming of aerobatics, formation flying, or air combat maneuvers, France is one of the best destinations in the world to live that dream.

FLY THE FOUGA MAGISTER IN FRANCE

The Fouga Magister is one of France’s most iconic training aircraft. Known for its V-tail and sleek lines, it was used for decades to train French Air Force pilots. It’s light, maneuverable, and perfect for aerobatics.

You can fly the Fouga Magister in several locations across France. From Abbeville in the north to Aix-en-Provence in the south, each flight offers a different scenery. Some flights focus on classic jet performance, others include formation flying with a second aircraft. You sit in tandem position, just like a real fighter pilot. After a safety briefing, you suit up and take off for a session full of loops, rolls, and high-speed turns.

The Fouga Magister is not just a jet—it’s a piece of history. Flying it is like stepping back in time, with the bonus of full control sensations and beautiful views of the French landscape.

FLY THE L-39 ALBATROS IN FRANCE

The L-39 Albatros is one of the most widely used military jet trainers in the world. Fast, stable, and powerful, it is often used as the first step toward modern fighter jets. Many real fighter pilots have started their training in the L-39.

In France, you can fly the L-39 Albatros in multiple locations. Flights are available in Carcassonne, Avignon, Reims, Deauville, Dijon, Rouen, La Roche-sur-Yon, Grenoble, and even near Paris.

This aircraft offers the perfect balance of performance and comfort. It’s capable of speeds over 750 km/h and high-G maneuvers. You can choose the type of flight: a discovery flight with gentle turns, or a full-on aerobatic session with barrel rolls, high-speed dives, and simulated air combat moves.

With a large canopy, you have excellent visibility. Your instructor is seated behind you, guiding the flight and performing maneuvers safely. You are in constant radio contact, and if you’re comfortable, you may even take the controls for a few minutes.
