Are there any of us that didn't want to be a fighter pilot after we saw Top Gun? Air Combat USA offers you real air combat instruction, so you'll be ready as you take the controls alongside an instructor pilot in a Marchetti SF260 fighter — which you fly up to 90 percent of the time — and engage in realistic dogfights that emulate real combat using an electronic tracking system. The entire experience is also recorded, so you can discuss your performance in the debriefing. And don't worry if you can't make it to Ar Combat HQ — they also offer deployments at a variety of sites across the country.
