Family Bonding in the Sky: Why a Sky Combat Ace Flight Makes a Unique and Thrilling Family Experience

Family bonding benefits the family as a whole and each individual within it. It involves shared experiences that promote strong connections with other family members. When parents invest time with their children, they demonstrate their love for them, helping them to develop their self-esteem and fostering their ability to thrive. 

Unique Flight Experiences 

Our flight experiences are unique adventures that let people with absolutely no flight experience take the controls as they soar through the skies. You can sit back and experience basic aerobatics while our pilots handle the controls, or you can experience the thrill of performing basic aerobatics while flying the plane yourself.

Thrill rides at carnivals and amusement parks are designed to deliver an adrenaline rush. The difference between those manufactured experiences and the flight options we offer is that we’re giving you a chance to walk in a Top Gun pilot’s shoes. You’ll get into a real fighter jet, sit in the pilot’s seat, and experience flying maneuvers and missions. 

It doesn’t matter if you have absolutely no flight experience because our flight experiences are training opportunities. We include on-the-ground training before your flight to familiarize you with the controls and protocols. 

Thrilling Flight Experiences 

Anyone can watch the movie Top Gun, but when it comes to the military training for naval aviation pilots, only the top 1% qualify. Some military pilots never experience life as a Top Gun fighter pilot. However, you can step into that role for a few hours and experience the thrill of flying missions and engaging in air combat.



Not quite ready to take the controls and fly a mission? Our Operation Recon flight experience gives you a chance to enjoy the kind of thrill ride that pilots experience without performing the maneuvers yourself. All our guests fly with a highly-trained pilot ready to step in if needed. With Operation Recon, our pilots perform basic aerobatic maneuvers, making this the perfect option for families looking for adrenaline-charged experiences to enjoy together.

Family Bonding From Sky Combat Ace Flight Experiences

Every member of your family will be on a different plane during the flight experience, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t having a shared experience. First, we provide basic training and a safety briefing for everyone before the flight. You’ll train together and learn what to expect, how to work the controls, and how to keep yourself and everyone else safe during the flight experience.

Our guests also pose for pictures beside the planes before takeoff, and your family can pose together, creating a lasting memento of your family bonding experience. 

Before you take to the skies, each flier will choose a call sign. You’ll use these call signs to address each other in the sky. You’ll communicate with each other during the flight, and depending on which experience you choose, you may even be on opposite sides of a game of airborne laser tag.

The bonding opportunities don’t stop once you’re back on the ground. You can unwind in our hangar, enjoy complimentary snacks and beverages, play games, and hang out. This is the perfect time to talk about what you experienced and felt during your flight and the perfect opportunity for family bonding.

You can also invest in a photo and video package that provides images and videos of your flight experiences that your family will treasure.
