Being able to fly airplanes and feel like a bird is a dream many people share. However, there’s a different class of aircraft available to fly. Many people think to fly airplanes ends at single-engine piston-engine aircraft. This widespread belief couldn’t be more wrong: Everybody can fly a true military aircraft and fly a jet fighter. Flying fighter jet isn’t harder than flying piston engine aircraft, but it’s surely much more of a thrill as G-Forces push your body to the limits while you fly a jet fighter.

Also, actually flying fighter jets isn’t hard – the hardest part in a jet flight is surely starting and landing. Since people who intend to fly military aircraft as civilians will be flying fighter jets used for training, they won’t fly a jet fighter alone but will be accompanied by an instructor who is flying fighter jets daily. Together with him, civilians fly in a two-cockpit jet fighter for 20 minutes or so. Therefore, the instructor is with them throughout the flight. This instructor will safely start and land the airplane and instruct the passenger how to fly airplanes – or, to be more precise, how to fly a jet fighter. After the instruction, the adventure in the flying fighter begins: the instructor starts the fighter, the jet taxies to the runway and eventually, the jet fighter takes off.

As company specializing in arranging flights in fighter jets to non-pilots, we find ourselves often confronted with interested clients worrying about the risks involved in flying jet. Everybody knows that jet pilots who regularly fly a fighter jet are athletes who spend a significant time of their work in gyms, strengthening both their body and their mind. Why, people ask, can john doe also fly in a fighter jet and even control the aircraft himself without such training and background?
