Fighter Combat International's air combat school in Mesa, Arizona USA specializes in providing the general public the opportunity of enjoying this outdoor adventure activity with real fighter pilots in real aerobatic aircraft. No flight experience is required - this is NOT an
air combat simulation. If you like air combat games like Fighter Ace, Air Combat Patrol, Air to Air Combat and other air combat simulations then you'll love flying REAL air combat under the guidance of our REAL air combat
fighter pilot instructors in REAL aircraft.

| THE AIR
COMBAT MISSION PLAN: On arrival at the Fighter
Combat International (FCI) squadron
in Mesa, Arizona,
you will enter the world of air combat and air to air
tactic adventure. You will be greeted by our
professional staff and then introduced to your
dedicated fighter pilot ground air combat instructor. After
meeting the FCI team you will don your flight suit and
receive your leather "Call Sign" patch to be
worn for the day of activity - and Yes, that is the name you'll go
by :) Then it's time for the flight briefing, where
you'll engage in the fierce study of air combat
tactics concepts, fighter pilot skills, air to air tactical
air combat employment and flight
safety. |
 |
| TAKE-OFF: With
the air combat briefing complete - it's flight time
for this adventure. After
strapping into the front cockpit of the Extra 300L,
preflight safety checks are completed prior to launch.
Within minutes you're airborne over the Arizona desert
and ready for adventure! You'll fly in close
formation with your competitor at over 250 miles per
hour to witness various formation positions and then
split for individual "warm-up" air combat maneuvers to
familiarize yourself with the air combat aircraft and
how it handles. Now you're ready for action. |
AIR COMBAT: We have two
air to air combat mission profiles in our Mesa, Arizona USA
location; the Intro
to Air Combat Maneuvering and the Advanced
Air Combat Mission (details below). Regardless of your
selected profile, a one-on-one battle against your opponent
begins, with multiple air combat engagements. The aircraft has
dual controls; you fly the aircraft under the guidance of the
Fighter Combat instructor in real air combat maneuvers. You chose whether to keep it basic
or go to the extreme in unlimited aerobatic combat
performance. With the
simulated sound of gunfire in the cockpit and smoke billowing
from the enemy combat aircraft, you victory-roll away from your first
successful dogfight adventure. Time for a short break, reset
and then at it again! In the Advanced Air Combat Mission the
last three neutral head-on engagements are scored to gain
points towards the various trophies and awards - be the; TOP
GUN, AERO GOD and/or the G-MONGER. Our air combat pilots make the
awards ceremony a lot of fun for everyone and contributes
significantly to each participants bragging rights and
culminating this outdoor adventure.
THE DEBRIEFING: Back at
the fighter squadron, the air combat instructors re-create the
tactical mission
for you and your competitor in this adventure, using the
multiple-view cockpit video, in-flight notes and air to air combat
results, complete with tactical "lessons learned"
you can apply during your next mission at our headquarters in
Mesa, Arizona. For those wanting to
go beyond the advanced combat mission, Fighter Combat
International offers graduates of the Squadron Wingman Program
the opportunity to participate in our 3-mission Combat Ready
Training Syllabus that provides you in-depth air to air combat
training and combat tactics. |
