Most non-pilots who want to fly a jet fighter decide to do so in Russia. However, there’s new, also interesting places coming up where flying jet is possible for everyone. In Europe alone, ordinary people can fly in a fighter jet - in the Czech Republic, France, Germany – even in Spain and Switzerland, there are flying jets available for everybody to take a ride.

As different as the locations may be, the jet available for flying is almost always the same type. Even though you can fly in a fighter jet such as the Venom and the Hunter, most jet fighters currently taking paying “passengers” are L-39. However, the L-39 is a perfect aircraft for flying jet: Two fully equipped cockpits make the flight in this jet fighter an experience for both the pilot and the "passenger". To fly a fighter jet is an unparalleled experience, and a plane like the L-39, designed to train pilots to fly in a fighter jets, is the ideal aircraft to do so.

"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.
