When can
I make my video?
Flights are possible year-round but must be scheduled in advance.
Do I need to be a pilot or have prior jet flying experience?
No. We’ll send you up with an expert L-39 pilot. The L-39 is a
jet trainer and was designed so it could easily be flown by student
fighter pilots. The pilot in command can actually have his hands
on the controls at the same time you do, helping to guide you
through maneuvers. On camera, it will appear you are flying the
jet.
How long will all this take?
The flight itself will last about 45 minutes, but it’s a good
idea to plan for this video-making adventure to take from four
to five hours to complete. Your day starts with an extensive briefing
session where you’ll learn about the L-39 and it’s capabilities
and safety systems. You’ll also hear how the L-39 has been used
in making movies. After the flight, you’ll want time to celebrate
a bit with your pilot and film production team.
What physical requirements are there?
You must have no known heart problems or medical conditions which
may be aggravated by g-forces. If you are taller than 6’6” or
heavier than 250 pounds, we may not be able to accommodate you.
Please ask before scheduling your film shoot.
Is weather a problem?
It can be, although California and Nevada are known for great
weather. If you can’t fly due to weather, there is no refund.
We’ll work to reschedule your flight for another day.
Where
are the best accommodations?
Hollywood TopGun Flights depart from Bob Hope Airport in Burbank,
California. The closest hotels are Hilton LA/Universal City and
the Sheraton Universal. When we're on location in Las Vegas, our
flights depart from Henderson Executive Airport. Stay anywhere
on the strip and you're just a 20 minute drive from the airport.
