Catch great views of the surrounding sights and see the Las Vegas skyline from above! Afterburner: After being picked up by van from your Las Vegas hotel and transported to the Henderson Executive Airport, you'll have a 15-minute briefing on aerobatics. You'll ride along with a pilot and experience dynamic low level flying and basic aerobatics including loops, rolls and stalls. Top Gun Experience: Upgrade to the Top Gun experience and you'll fly the plane! After being transported by van to the Henderson Airport, you'll have a 30-minute briefing in aerobatics and high-G maneuvering with your pilot.Then you'll suit up and begin your 30-minute Top Gun flight. Fly with an actual fighter pilot and learn the art of basic fighter maneuvering. You'll fly in the most advanced aerobatic airplane in the world, the Extra 330LC. With a certified flight instructor in back, you are taught aerial combat skills, complete with high-G maneuvering and military maneuvers. You'll do basic low-level maneuvering and aerobatics including loops, rolls, stalls and spins before ending with advanced aerobatics like snaps rolls, hammerheads and tumbling. Air Combat Experience: Upgrade to the Air Combat tour for up to 50-minutes in the air! Bring your buddy and you can test your skills against each other. Under the supervision of a highly trained fighter pilot instructor, you are the one at the controls, you are the one squeezing the trigger and you get the satisfaction of scoring a hit on your opponent. SCA utilizes all of the latest technology to give the wingman the most realistic simulation possible, including a gun reticle, an electronic targeting system that triggers “smoke on”, and complete visual coverage from 4 different angles including repeater displays in both the front and back seats.
After your flight, relax at the SCA hanger and swap stories with actual combat fighter pilots. This experience, from start to finish, is truly unforgettable.
Great and unique experience ! So happy to have done that... extraordinary machine and super pilot. Take the red rocks tour, you will not regret it !!!

I might do it again. Top notch guys. Truly a thrill you just can't get any other way.
Review by: Juliet S, August 2016
Persuaded my husband to do this trip and he was not disappointed. His pilot Colin, took him through various manoeuvres including flying upside down, barrel rolls and loop the loops, then my husband took the controls and did them himself! Before coming back they also did a 'bombing run' which meant flying very low. He has some great photos taken by the team and the flight was captured on video. A brilliant day out.

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!! A true once-in-a lifetime event!!!
Review by: Adam D, June 2016
Amazing experience and worth every penny! If you crave a good adrenaline rush all while trying something very few people in the WORLD ever get to do, than this is your thing. Getting to actually pilot the plane through acrobatic stunts is something i will never forget. Thanks to all the guys at the ACE team!

Me being a combat flight sim enthusiast, it gave me an answer. Not for everyone however. Ausom!
Review by: Darryl S, April 2016
This was the most awesome experience of my life. Being in the front seat of that plane just for the ride was cool, but when you get the chance to repeat the stunts flying the plane yourself, Man you just can't top that. Thank you for an experience of a life time.
Review by: Justin S, April 2016
My experience was awesome and exhilarating!!! I did the Afterburner experience but after doing that I wish I would have upgraded to the Top Gun experience. The staff was awesome and friendly and the pilots are great! This was the best money I ever spent and was well worth it!!!!
Review by: Amanda E, April 2016
My husband and I have an absolutely great time!
Review by: Kenneth S, February 2016
Loved it! I did the afterburner flight. Want to go back and do the combat flight. Unbelievable experience! Beginning was a little disorganized and we didn't get the official pre flight discussion due to the tours being backed up due to fueling issues. The flight and the pilots were awesome!! Staff was exceptionally friendly and Rodney was fun to talk with on the trips to and from the flight hangar.

Unbeleavable
Review by: Marco B, November 2015
Great staff on site, very friendly and let me walk the hanger and chat with the mechanic. Easily a top experience in Vegas and if you have the extra breathing room on money get the bigger packages well worth the fun of flying the plane!
Review by: Yonathan H, November 2015
Had a blast! Best experience of my trip to Vegas.
Review by: Tony S, October 2015
I don't use the term 'awesome' but this actually was !!! One of the best experiences, if not the best, I have ever had and I have had a few.
Review by: Eric, October 2015
This was hands down the most exhilarating experience of my life. It puts any amusement park ride or roller coaster I have ever been on to shame. The handling capabilities of the Extra 330LC are incredible. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a memorable once in a lifetime experience. Simply amazing.

Our ride had to be reschedule due to rain. When SUV arrived next day to pick us up they didn't have enough room inside for everyone waiting. We had to stand out in the hot sun for 20 mins while the driver tried to figure out what happened. We also had plans that evening that we had to be back in time for. Once we go to airstrip we decided to upgrade to the next pkg. While we waited for our turn another couple that was not scheduled until later in the day was taken before us. After waiting a long time my husband was unable to get the plane he wanted because the couple who had a later appointment were in the plane out flying already. Also my husbands flight was shorter that the others with the same package. My husband had a blast but I would not go back. Awful customer service. Oh and if you want any photos or video be prepared to pay a minimum of 300.00! Rip off!!

Staff were friendly helpful and courteous. pilot was extremely accommodating and made it the dest time.
Review by: Peggy, June 2015
Best experience of my life. The Top Gun flight got me behind the controls of the plane, always wanted to be a pilot. My pilot Kyle was amazing and the staff at SCA. Thanks again, I don't know how I will top this one!!
Review by: Brian C, June 2015
My brother did the top gun experience and has been raving about it ever since. He was thrilled to fly the plane and do the stunt maneuvers. This package isn't for the faint of heart but is a great thrill.
Review by: Michael D, April 2015

Review by: Ronald D, November 2014
This was the highlight my Las Vegas vacation. I was amazed that I could handle all Gs during the aerobatics, spins, barrel rolls, hammerheads and inverted flight. I really need to go back and do this again. My pilot as well as the entire staff was very professional._br/_
Best experience in Vegas "Just do it".

Top gun experience was fun, the pilot was very friendly and informative and always talks to me to see if I'm doing alright. The stunts was awesome and I learn how to do some loops, hoops and twist.

What an amazing, once in a lifetime adventure. I bought this for my hubby for his birthday and he LOVED it!!! (if you read this - you owe me hon - he he) He did the full Air Combat experience, and nothing can describe the grin on his face once he got back on the ground. I can't believe he got to the chance to fly in a dog fight and do all the ticks and manouvers (and go to 8 g's...) Fantastic crew and would super recommend this to anyone considering it.

Absolutely fantastic! A real adrenalen rush! Hollywood was my pilot and had complete faith in his abilities and was a lot of fun. Plan to be back, I'm hooked! 1 tip, if you plan on buying the video be sure to "mug" alot.
Review by: Steeve T, January 2013
I found the staff to be both profesional and down to earth (heh heh) I had a great flight with Steve (Hollywood) and would recomend this package to everyone, but, dont forget to eat : )

Review by: lilrosey, November 2012
The pilots were fantastic and the staff were very hospitable. I am rather an adrenaline junkie so the acrobat moves were all out. Greatest thrill ride ever and hands down will beat any crazy thing you have ever done before. I will do this when I visit Vegas again.

My Pilot was the nicest man ever. So patient and didn't do anything I wasn't comfortable with. I shared my video with several friends and they were very jalous. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. A thrill ride 10,000 ft up! Thank You Thank You Thank You
