Worked for me? Looks really neat, bet I wouldn't be the same virtual ace IRL:D

US Golfer and RV6 did that a little while back. I think RV6 does that often.

Phase I
• Getting fitted with the proper gear
• Ground school, which will include:
• Basic Air Combat Maneuvers (ACM)
• High and Low Yo-Yo's
• Lead, Lag, and Pure Pursuit
• Gunsight Tracking
• Military Rules of Engagement (ROE)
• Safety Brief
• Physiological Effects of "G" Forces
• Flying Characteristics of the SIAI Marchetti SF260
• Flying minimum of six combat engagements
• Debriefing and review of the videotapes

And they travel around the country so you can do it close to home

Now this is my idea of a dream come true ......just got to get to the states

$500 per hour in a P51

when i was down in flordia for the 96 AW Con, i seem to remember people buying rides on Crazy Horse..the p51 Trainer. I know for a fact Gray Eagle took a ride and then showed everyone the video...it was sweet. You might be able to find the video out on the net...i know he had it linked to his website a long time ago.

I WILL do this some day.

FiLtH · « **Reply #9 on:** March 12, 2005, 10:27:57 PM »

Id do it..if I didnt have to go up in the air. Flying is too scary. Only way I'll die in a plane crash is if one lands on me house.

If I make enough cash out here on the Gateway Tour I intend to challenge Soup (my squad CO) to a beating from me in the air before the summer. Be warned Soup hehe.

These guys also tour the country, same type of deal. Cept they use T-6 Texans and have an actual A6M zero (or did back when I saw them). I think it was something like $3k for the dogfight.

I did this yesterday (gift from my wife for Christmas)

http://www.natg.com/wbflights.html

leave the house 8:00 am

Crystal clear blue sky day I flew down to F45 (North county) and went for what turned out to be nearly 45 min flight where you get instruction on the aerobatics while following the instructors control inputs first then you fly them yourself.

Very cool, did wingovers, loops, barrel rolls. Split S. and 4 point hesitation rolls and clover leafs. then back to landing get video of flight then I flew (my Cessna NOT the T-6 darn it) elsewhere for lunch and fuel then to home base to wash the bird and put it back in the hanger. Home for a cold beer at 5:30 pm
Best time with clothes on in a while.

Great day, even got the T-6 time logged as duel instruction

GREAT DAY!!
