Air Combat USA

Target Travel ‘Goes Dog Fighting’. Real Dog Fighting in real military aircraft, you get to do the flying and fighting, it’s not a simulation and you are not there just for the ride. We must admit it’s much better if you have a mate to go head-to-head with, but it’s not necessary. You fly Italian-built ground attack aircraft that is fully acrobatic and strong enough for a proper dogfight. You will sit side by side with a ‘vet’ who’s just as enthusiastic about winning as you, perhaps more so. Target Travel ‘Goes Dog Fighting’ was, without a doubt, the most exciting thing I have ever done!

My old school friend Mark had watched the top ten adrenaline experiences on Sky TV and Air Combat USA was number one. They have a base in Los Angeles but each summer tour pairs of aircraft around the US, staying a few days before moving on. Due to business commitments and the timing, our most convenient summer base was Long Island, NY. Our first dogfight was over Long Island NY in 2005 and the rematch was in 2008 from Los Angeles over the Pacific near Catalina Island, See the link to my blog below for more details:
