 Testimonials

| Paul
C. "I wanted
to thank you for making my dream come true. The experience was unbelievable.
I will never forget it and probably will never come close to matching
it. Riding a motorcycle at 145 mph (6th gear red-line) is like riding
a tricycle compared to this. It was by far the best money I have
ever spent. I would definitely do it again in a heartbeat." Photos

"Nizhny Novgorod MiG 29 UB: Lots of "you have control" from
Yuri Polyakov and lots of aerobatics from Yuri. Fantastic aircraft.
The only after-effect was tired neck muscles owing to 5G heavy head.
Obviously fighter pilots develop strong neck muscles! Everything
worked perfectly. Full marks to Galina, Marina and everybody else.
A memorable 5 days. Thanks! |

 "
The flights were truly amazing, and your organization here was impeccable.I
will be back again for sure. Moscow is quite a nice place to spend a
few days. Good food and bars and plenty of interesting places to see.
The pilots at the base were really good both with their skills, but
also with their encouragement for me to try different flying maneuvers.
The MiG 29 was obviously a highlight, but the flights in the L-39 were
also very exciting as I had quite a bit of actual flying time. You are
welcome to add my name/comments to your references. All the best, Gary

will not let a terrorist take my lifelong dream away from me. If we
live in fear, if we neglect to carry on and live out our dreams, he
wins." ~ David Lubin read

"The flight experience, from the dress-up, briefing,
and ejection training to the take-off, flight, and landing, was an adventure
that will stay with me forever. It was more than I ever imagined! At
the top-secret Zhukovsky Air Force Base, my wife Shannon apprehensively
watched on the ground with her new friends Galina, Nick, and the ground
crew, as I began to live out my lifelong dream." ~ David Lubin

"Upon first reading
of an essay contest where the grand prize was a ride in a MiG-29
jet fighter, I knew, absolutely knew, that I had it won...and I
knew without a doubt that no other contestant had the same burning
desire to fly one of those jets that I had." ~ Darrin Silver
