What are G-Forces Anyway?
In science nerd terms, G-Forces (gravitational forces) are the measure of pressure your body feels when rapidly accelerating, decelerating, or changing direction—compared to the force of gravity on earth.
In simple terms, let's just say it’s the force of gravity you feel in motion—multiplied. At 8 G’s, your body feels eight times its weight, making every turn, dive, and roll an epic battle between you and mother nature!
Right now, you're at 1 G—This is the gravitational pull keeping our feet planted firmly on the ground. Rocket into outer space, however, and that's a zero gravity environment, where you'd be floating weightlessly. (You'd also be an astronaut, which would be super badass.)
So, how do G-Forces affect your body when flying in an aerobatic plane like our friend in the video above? It's all about the turns, baby...!
You know that feeling on a roller coaster when you're zooming into a loop and get pressed into your seat? That's G-Force in action. For each additional G you pull, it feels like your body weight is multiplied by 10.
The G-Force Scale
-1 G = Roller Coaster Drop
Zero G's = Weightless in Outer Space
1 G = Everyday Gravity
3 G's = Space Shuttle Launch
3 to 4 G's = Roller Coaster Loop
8 G's = An SCA Flight Experience!
What Do 8 G’s Feel Like?
Imagine this: during an 8 G turn, your head that usually weighs about 10 pounds suddenly feels like it’s 80 pounds. Every muscle works overtime to stay steady, and your vision may narrow as your blood fights against gravity.
Sounds intense, right? That’s why SCA fighter pilots train for years to handle these forces—and why pulling G’s is the ultimate test of physical and mental grit.
You've Probably Felt G-Forces Before...
Chances are, you’ve already experienced light G-forces in everyday life. For example:
- Hitting the brakes hard in your car or taking a sharp turn: Centrifugal forces as you careen around a tight corner or screech to a sudden halt will generate a couple of G's.
- Riding a rollercoaster: Twists, turns, and drops generate G-forces between 3–4 G’s. The most extreme coasters reach up to 5.5 G’s.
But, if you want to unlock the ultimate bragging rights and see how well you handle high G-forces
(which is something only fighter pilots and astronauts usually get the chance to experience!),
you
need
to come to Sky Combat Ace.
Why Experience This Thrill at Sky Combat Ace?
The ONLY Place to Feel the Rush of High G-Forces
As you can imagine, few people will ever get the opportunity to feel the power of high G-forces in a safe and fun environment... But here at SCA, we're in the business of delivering once-in-a-lifetime thrills you won't find anywhere else.
From our highly-skilled professional pilots, to our aircraft that are nothing short of an engineering marvel, SCA is the
only place to try your hand at high-G maneuvers you'll be bragging about for the rest of your life. Here's why:
Do All SCA Flights Go Up to 8 G's?
What if I Don't Want to Go Too Crazy?!
No worries if you're feeling a bit unsure about trying a high-G maneuver like you see in our passenger's viral clip above! This stunt is completely optional, and there's no need to exert intense G-forces during our regular flights unless you'd like to push the envelope and challenge yourself!
During our regular aerobatic and dogfighting experiences, you'll feel similar G-force sensations as a roller coaster ride. Most basic maneuvers only go up to around 3 or 4 G's, but you will have the option to request a high-G turn at the end of your flight if you want to try it out!
How to Try a High-G Maneuver at SCA
During your flight, you'll be in constant communication with your pilot, so you're calling the shots about how intense you want the experience to be. Ready to see if you can handle the G's? Towards the end of your aerobatic profile, your pilot will ask if you're feeling great, and offer you the option to try a high-G turn.
If you're feeling daring... brace yourself! Your pilot will execute a tight, sustained turn in the aircraft that gradually builds into a high-G load, pushing you into your seat and showing you the jaw-dropping power of defying physics!

FAQs
How long does each flight go for?
Flight times vary depending on your chosen flight package, and whether you decide to add any optional flight upgrades. For our signature flight packages, here’s a quick cheat sheet of approximate flight times (This is the actual time you'll be doing the hands-on flying in each experience):
• Operation Recon: Approx 12-14 mins
• Afterburner: Approx 16-20 mins
• Sky Combat Experience: Approx 25-30 mins
• Top Gun Experience: Approx 35-55 mins
Please note, these flight times are approximate and do not include taxiing on the runway, takeoff, and landing.
Please allow 3 hours door-to-door for the entire experience, which includes complimentary pickup, pre-flight briefing, and return trasfers to your hotel.
What time will I be back at my hotel afterwards?
Please allow approximately 3 hours door-to-door for your Sky Combat Ace adventure. This includes complimentary pickup from your hotel, pre-flight briefing, post-flight video previews, and return transfers.
Does SCA pick up and drop off our group at our hotel?
Absolutely! Depending on the size of your group, we can provide complimentary transportation in our shuttle from most hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown. For larger groups, our VIP Concierge Mia will be happy to coordinate a private shuttle or limousine service, according to your needs.
How do I find my driver at the pickup spot?
If you’ve opted for a hotel pickup, we’ll confirm your exact pickup location over the phone the day before your flight. Please promptly meet the driver at your agreed meeting place at your scheduled pickup time. If you’re having trouble finding each other, please give us a call on 888-494-5850 so we can help you locate the shuttle.
Can my family and friends come too?
Absolutely! The Sky Combat Ace Lounge is the ultimate place to hang out before and after your flight, with plenty of comfy seating, snacks and drinks, and entertainment options including foosball, shuffleboard, video games, a pool table, and several TVs to entertain your guests. Please be sure to confirm the number of non-flying guests you’d like to bring as seating in the shuttle is subject to availability.
Should I plan any other activities immediately after my SCA flight?
Following your adventure, we recommend building a bit of time into your afternoon to rest, recharge, and let your adrenaline settle! It’s best to plan your next activity for a couple of hours after your return so you’re not in a rush and can let the experience sink in!
What if I prefer my thrills on the milder side?
No problem! Our pilots use a building-block approach, starting with the more gentle maneuvers and working their way up to the more advanced stunts at the end. With constant real-time communication with your pilot, they'll be checking in with you between each maneuver to make sure you're having a great time. Unlike a roller coaster where you're along for the ride, our flight experiences are completely customizable to your thrill level. We can always dial down the intensity or take a little break at any time!
I'm not a pilot! Are you really going to let me fly the plane?
We hear this one a lot. Some people find it hard to believe that they can be at the controls of a $500,000 airplane without any prior training. The reason we can do this is quite simple: All of our aircraft are equipped with dual flight controls, so your highly trained instructor pilot can easily take over the controls in the unlikely event that it becomes necessary. All of our instructors undergo a rigorous training program and are skilled at safely maneuvering aircraft through every kind of unusual attitude and aggravated spin that you can imagine. Our training equips us to handle situations that are far more challenging than anything we might encounter on a typical customer mission. All flights are instructional flights defined under 14 CFR Part 61 of the United States Code and all participants will receive ground and airborne instruction throughout their flight.
In case you still don't believe us, wait till you see your video after the flight! During many maneuvers, you will see your instructor pilot put his hands in the air. So yes, YOU really are flying the plane.
Are there any restrictions on who can fly?
For your comfort and safety, you should be in good health and free from high blood pressure, heart, back or neck problems, motion sickness, or other conditions that could be aggravated by this adventure. Expectant mothers should not ride. Height and Weight Restrictions: Weigh between 80lbs & 265lbs (120kg) and no taller than 6'6" (201cm)
Is Sky Combat Ace safe?
Safety is our top priority. All flights are conducted by expert aerobatic instructor pilots, and we use the world's most advanced FAA-certified stunt planes to guarantee the highest safety standards. All participants receive thorough safety briefings, and our professional pilots ensure a safe, controlled experience during each flight.
What if I get airsick?
At Sky Combat Ace, we do everything in our power to prevent people from getting airsick. All of our profiles use a building block approach, starting with basic maneuvers and working our way up to more advanced profiles. At any point, we encourage our customers to communicate their comfort level and we are happy to take a break between maneuvers to give your stomach a chance to catch up.
It is a common misconception that you should fly on an empty stomach. The truth is that you should adhere to your normal habit patterns. While it may not be advisable to eat a breakfast buffet just before your flight, you should have something in your stomach, perhaps a light breakfast, such as cereal or some fruit. Though you should always stay hydrated, it is probably a good idea to stay away from alcohol before an aerobatic flight.
We also encourage customers to do as much flying as possible during the flight. The more you immerse yourself in the experience, the less likely you are to get sick. Incidentally, the most common cause of airsickness at Sky Combat Ace is due to hangovers. We know you like to party, but try to hit the sack early the day prior to your Sky Combat Ace adventure!
If you feel that you are susceptible to motion sickness, we recommend a Dramamine tablet the night prior and another one 1 to 2 hours before your flight.
Are videos or pictures included in the price?
In order to keep our prices as low as possible, we don't bundle videos or photos into the price of your experience. We offer a variety of professionally-edited photo and video packages for purchase on the day, starting at $50 per person.
Can I bring my own GoPro or camera to record the flight?
Due to FAA rules and regulations, we cannot bring unapproved cameras on SCA flights. Our custom-built mounts and cameras have been tested to withstand the rigors of unlimited aerobatics for your safety. But don't worry, we'll be recording every moment of the action with 4 onboard cameras! We offer a variety of professionally-edited photo and video packages for purchase so you can relive your adventure and show your friends!
Who do I contact for large group bookings?
Mia, our VIP Group Bookings Concierge, is looking forward to answering your questions and tailoring the ultimate adventure day for your group! Please select a time on Mia’s Calendly link and she will reach out to you at a time that suits you best. Alternatively, you can also call us at the hangar 7 days a week on +1 888-494-5850.
Can Sky Combat Ace come to us in a different city?
For special occasions and larger group bookings, we’re able to bring our aircraft, expert pilots, and adrenaline-fueled experiences directly to your location. Just let us know where you need us, and we’ll make it happen.
Need a hand choosing the ultimate aerial adventure for you? No worries wingman, we've got your six!
