The ultimate aviation thrill !!!
You have always dreamed about doing that one unreachable thing, that pinnacle event in your life ?? It’s you flying these incredible machines. Whatever your extreme dream may be, we will tailor an experience to make it happen for you !
Your Ultimate Aviation Thrill is an experience for which you need to allocate about 3 hours. You can choose to do one, two or three jet sorties - depending on your adrenalin requirements - and your exhilarating “once-in-a-lifetime experience” is programmed as follows: Arrive at 09h30 for a pre-flight tour of our operational hangar, where the sheer size of and technical ingenuity of our incredible heavy metal jets blows everyone’s mind. You’ll be fitted with a flight suit and helmet, and briefed on its oxygen and communication facilities, before being taken through to the pilot’s briefing room, to meet your pilot and undergo emergency and ejector seat training.
What are the passenger / cockpit size limitations? Optional: an edited DVD recording your experience can be prepared, incl. the pilot briefings and introduction, as well as some filming inside the cockpit during the flights. |

Fly in the world's only twin-engine two-seater (side-by-side) supersonic interceptor, the English Electric Lightning. Two Rolls Royce Avon 302 turbojets power this amazing aircraft.
This aircraft is the crème-de-la-crème of fighter jets. The Lightning still holds a number of world climb-to-altitude records and is known for its vertical climb performance, capable of a speed of Mach 2.2 (1.500 mph), and an initial climb rate of 50,000 ft / min. You don’t fly the Lightning like a conventional aeroplane – you “strap her to your back”. She’s a beauty, offering the incredible power and ‘g’s’ of the supersonic interceptor. Break the sound barrier and marvel at the smooth and gentle handling of this heavy metal jet as, during your supersonic experience, you join the elite few who have seen the curvature of the earth from 50,000 foot.
The British Aerospace Buccaneers, a tandem two-seater aggressor is designed for low-level, high-speed attack.
The last all-British strike bomber weighing in at 24 tons, the Buccaneer is a low level strike attack aircraft that was designed to fly extremely fast and extremely low. Take off from the airport and scream out to sea at a speed of close to 650 miles per hour – and just 50 feet above the water: your ‘g’ limits and sortie profile are determined purely by your ability to handle them. 
Seated behind the pilot, you’ll be working with him to maximise your experience - whether it be an extreme adrenaline rush through the rugged mountains or a sortie along the dramatic SA coast.
The Hawker Hunter was originally designed as a superior air fighter which, due to it's versatility, was easily adapted for air to ground attack and reconnaissance flights. It is an exceptionally agile two-seater air combat trainer.
The Hunters can be used for training, aerobatics, low flying and general flying. Powered by the Avon 122 series turbojet, this immaculate aircraft allows you to experience high 'g' adrenalin performance, like you have never felt before. Regarded as the “Spitfire” of the jet age the Hunter is one of the most elegant combat aircraft ever to grace the skies; hence it is a favourite at airshows around the world. The Hunter is the ideal aircraft for extreme sorties or simply fast and gentle trips around the magnificent SA coastline and landscapes. If you chose an aggressive aerobatic sortie, you’ll pull loops, rolls, barrel rolls, inverted flight, vertical manoeuvres and a host of other mind blowing manoeuvres –and you’ll come out of them hooked on ex-combat jets.
