INSPIRE GIFT EXPERIENCES

May

For adrenaline junkies WORLDWIDE An unforgettable experience for daredevil aviation enthusiasts, MiGFlug organizes fighter jet flights where you are the pilot. As managing partner Philipp Schaer explains, “being a fighter pilot is a great dream for many. Since only very few lucky ones are selected, for most, it remains a dream. We’re here to change that.” No previous flight experience is necessary, as you’ll be fully prepared for flight with training and demonstrations from MiGFlug’s expert flight instructors. The flight instructor will take off with you in the two-seater fighter jet, and if you’re feeling brave you can control the jet yourself and perform maneuvers like loops, rolls, Immelmann turns and split-s. There’s a huge selection of jets available, including the legendary MiG-29 (edge-of-space flights available), the T-33 (the first military jet trainer), the ‘Hawker Hunter’ (used as a ground attack aircraft) and the Zero-G, which provides real weightlessness without venturing into space. MiFlug arranges flights in locations all over the world including California, Canada, England, Florida, Germany, New York, Russia and Switzerland. From $2,399, depending on aircraft, location and flight time. Contact Philipp Schaer, managing partner, info@migflug.com, +1 813 384 3191, migflug.com
