We are doing the Pontoise Airshow
Monday, July 18th, 2011
We are very excited as we are going to participate to the Pontoise Airshow, held in September 2011. This is our second participation to this specific airshow with the L39 Albatros. We are particularly pleased as it is our home base for the L39. Lots of people will attend and great pilots will participate. The Patrouille de France, the French national display team will be there, as well as the feminine aerobatic world champion. The Rafale should be on display, as will our Read More....

Fly a jet fighter in July
Friday, July 1st, 2011
Wow it’s already July! It has gone so fast. We have had a fantastic six months of the year. We have been flying almost every day, getting more and more people to fly a jet fighter and experience the thrills of a lifetime. Here are some news about what happened in June. We have done more than 15 sorties this month in the Fouga Magister in Abbeville. And flying right over the water and along the cliffs is still something that gives us goose bumps. Read More....
How to be prepared for a jet fighter ride
Monday, June 27th, 2011
Flying a jet fighter is no ordinary experience. However, you should feel stressed out if you have booked a jet ride as there is nothing you can not handled. First of all, you should eat before flying. The common mistake is to think you will automatically be sick and therefore most people avoid having breakfast or lunch before the flight. You should eat, not beyond reason though, as you need the energy to fight the Gs and your own stress. Without energy, you may feel weak and unwell during the Read More....
New regulation to apply to jet fighter rides
Friday, June 10th, 2011
Regulations are currently changing in France, and imposing a no fly zone in South West France for all jet fighter rides. Unfortunately, this implies that we are no longer permitted to offer to fly a jet fighter from Bordeaux. This no fly zone is temporary whilst the administration ruling the French skies publishes new regulation this summer which will apply with immediate effect. We are quite happy of this new regulation as it will professionalise the operation of jet fiRead More....
Last entry for Endeavour
Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
The Space Shuttle Endeavour is due back to earth on the 1st of June, for the last time. This incredible bird has spent 300 days in space – almost a year – and travelled about 130 million miles… It should get an award in any frequent flyer program. Endeavour has flown 25 times into space since its first mission on May 7, 1992. It is always sad to see an incredible plane grounded forever, but the upside is that many people will now be able to admire the shuttle in one of the museums in the URead More....
We are getting a new jet fighter
Monday, May 23rd, 2011
We are very excited to announce that we are currently in the process of acquiring a new jet fighter – L39 Albatros – to be stationed in Bordeaux. This is exciting as this will allow us to do more jet fighter rides, but also to have more fun flying in formation. The purchase will take a bit of time, as it usually does when buying a plane – this is not a can of beans – and we expect the delivery of the plane towards September. Then the jet fighter will go under testing to ensure full secuRead More....
Congratulations to Solar Impulse
Monday, May 16th, 2011
We would like to say Congratulations to Bertrand Piccard for his success in the 1st international flight of Solar Impulse. Although his aim is to demonstrate that solar power – green energy – can actually power airplanes is a bit “opposite” to what we actually do – flying jet fighters – we think Friday 13th May will remain as a milestone in aviation history. Solar Impulse took off from Payerne in Switzerland and flew almost 13 hours to land in Brussels, the capital of Belgium. By airRead More....
Fly a jet fighter from Abbeville
Tuesday, May 10th, 2011
Due to success we will open more dates to fly a jet fighter in Abbeville. Our Fouga Magister is usually stationed at Beauvais, just one hour south of Abbeville, but we will organise more dates to fly this fighter in May, in Abbeville. Why this town ? Because we are over the sea in just 30mn, and because the scenery is just spectacular. We take off flying north west towards the bay of Somme, and then we put the nose down until we are just meters from the water so you can experience the speed of aRead More....
Our visit to Lockheed Martin
Monday, May 2nd, 2011
We have been very lucky last week to be able to visit the Lockheed Martin Corporation. This invitation went through thanks to fellow pilots, and we have to say this was one of the top 10 experiences for all of us. When you are passionate about aviation, being able to venture into one of the temples of aviation is quite something. We have been more than lucky as we have been able to see some of the production lines of the F-35. We are still very much excited about all this, so to share our exciteRead More....
