Become the star of your own Top Gun movie on this spectacular jet fighter plane flight over the Nevada desert. A movie production team will capture your every movement on film as you prepare to fly in an L-39 fighter jet and then take to the skies, ensuring this is an experience never to be forgotten. Plus, you can choose exactly how your personal documentary takes shape as each flight is tailored to match your personal taste for adrenalin. Choose to fly low across the desert sands or perhaps make low passes through Nevada’s canyons; roll, loop or fire up the afterburners.

As you scream down the runway, you will feel the g-forces pin you firmly into the back of your seat and your adrenalin levels will soar as you take off and climb to high altitude in a matter of seconds. Every powerful high-g turn, 360° barrel roll and tail slide will bring a renewed surge of adrenaline and excitement and you can witness breathtaking views of the beautiful Nevada desert seen by very few.  You don’t have to be a pilot to fly this legendary aircraft, but on film it will appear as you are a true fighter pilot worthy of the role of Maverick in the Top Gun film.

Your entire jet fighter plane adventure will be captured on film and the fantastic local production team will help create a personal movie to remember. You can either choose to edit the footage yourself or for an additional $350 (payable locally) you can have the video professionally edited into a short movie, complete with soundtrack.

Q: Do I need to be a pilot or have prior jet flying experience?
A: No. We’ll send you up with an expert L-39 pilot.

Q: Do I get to fly the aircraft?
A: The L-39 is a jet trainer and was designed so it could easily be flown by student fighter pilots. The pilot in command can actually have his hands on the controls at the same time you do, helping to guide you through maneuvers. On camera, it will appear like you are flying the jet.

Q: How long will all this take?
A: The flight itself will last about 45 minutes, but the whole experience will take around four to five hours to complete. Your day starts with an extensive briefing session where you’ll learn about the L-39 and it’s capabilities and safety systems. You’ll also hear how the L-39 has been used in making movies. After the flight, you’ll want time to celebrate with your pilot and film production team.

Q: What physical requirements are there?
A: You must have no known heart problems or medical conditions which may be aggravated by g-forces. There is a height restriction of 6’6” and a weight restriction of 250 pounds.

Q: What happens if the weather prevents me from taking my flight?
A: Although this is rare, inclement weather can sometimes prevent flights from taking off. If you can’t fly due to weather, there is no refund but flights will be rescheduled for another day.
