Fly a Jet Fighter as Civilian
"I was dreaming to fly in a fighter jet since I was a child", says Bryan, a now 32-year old technology consultant. Years ago, he applied to the USAF since he wanted to fly a fighter jet just like other people drive a car. Unfortunately, he couldn't become a pilot as his eyes classification turned out to be too low for flying jet. Few people can tell that it's still possible to fly a jet fighter, even if you've never made a military career: Civilians are flying jet fighters on different airfields all over the world. How's that? Thanks to excellent connections to jet operators, specialized companies like Zurich-based MiGFlug are able to allow anyone interest to fly a jet fighter - provided these people have the funds required to fly in a fighter jet. MiGFlug maintains a network of experienced jet flight instructors who can take their clients in the air for a single jet flight. Flying jet is no low-cost adventure: Fuel is only one part of the cost of the jet fighter experience; maintenance, technology usage and taxes further add to the price to fly in a fighter jet. Bryan, however, doesn't mind these cost: "Even though my salary is average, I'm willing to spend two-thousand dollars on my dream to fly a fighter jet", he says.
