 Terence
Witt and his wife Virginia Dickens of Indialantic, Florida, spent five
days training at Kennedy Space Center with the team from Starfighters
Aerospace. In February, the couple became the first to complete
civilian space flight training in the F-104 Starfighter, the legendary
jet used to prepare generations of astronauts for space travel.
Terry and Virginia received classroom  briefings
and completed hands-on training in a hypobaric pressure chamber in preparation
for the main event... high-speed flights in the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
designed to mimic the flight path of a suborbital space plane.
 Incredible
Adventures is proud to have an exclusive contract to market this
exciting new space adventure for Starfighters. IA's Greg Claxton
and Sheri Lewis were on hand to watch Terry and Virginia's training
and can answer any questions one might have about the program.
Introductory training sells for $30,500 and
a more advanced, two-flight program is available for $48,750. See photos
from Greg and Sheri's adventure watching Terry and Virginia's adventure
here. For more
info, call 800-644-7382.
You may remember Simon from an earlier newsletter.
He's the guy who flew an English
Electric Lightning to the edge of space over Cape Town back in 1999
and then celebrated the 10th anniversary of that flight by traveling
to Russia for a journey to the edge of space in a MiG-29.
A few days ago, we received the following thank you note and photo from
Simon:
Hi Greg,
I hope you accept my apologies for not
getting in touch following my last trip which you magnificently organised...The
 trip
was fab and went like clockwork. All the contacts were very efficient
and we were never left in the unknown once...Thank you once again as
I managed to realise my lifetime ambition of reaching the edge of space
at a speed of Mach 2.
Speak soon, Simon
Simon is from the UK, but you probably already
guessed that from his spelling. If you'd like to be like Simon and fly
a MiG over Russia or view Cape Town
from a legendary British fighter jet,
give us a call at 800-644-7382.
IA's
MiG flights to the edge of space were named one of the "Top 10 Sky-High
Destinations" in the February 6 edition of Dubai's popular "The
National" Magazine.
In case you didn't know, the world's tallest
building is in downtown Dubai. The new Burj
Khalifa has over 160 stories and is more than 800 meters (2625 feet)
tall. Book a MiG flight to
the edge of space and you'll get to fly 26 times as high as the
world's highest building. How cool is that?

 Incredible
Adventures is teaming up with Explore Himalaya to once again offer
the most incredible skydive on the planet...a high-altitude jump
in front of Mt Everest, the tallest mountain on earth. IA
is now taking reservations for May and October Everest
Skydive jump dates.
The jump crew for 2010 includes many
of the same great professionals that made 2008's historic first
Everest Skydive a success, including videographer Wendy Smith
and tandem master Tom Noonan.
 No
skydiving experience is necessary. Both tandem and solo jumpers
are welcome. This year, solo jumpers have the option of jumping
onto the primary drop zone in Syangboche or electing to make a
much more difficult jump into KalaPatthar. To jump solo into either
location, you must hold a Class C or D License and have completed
at least 200 logged jumps.
The cost of a two-week Everest
Skydive adventure currently ranges from $24,000 to $32,000
and is based on jump type, drop zone location and currency exchange
rates. For more information, contact
Sheri or Greg at 800-644-7382.

Hollywood Top Gun Pilot

You don't have to be an American hero to hang out with the  gang
at Hollywood Top Gun.
If you love fast jets, you've got the right stuff.
To climb into the cockpit of an L-39 and play the role of fighter
pilot, you just need to give us a call.

Super Aviator
Extends Stay in Hawaii
|
|
John Jo, Dave, Jay and the rest of the Super
Aviator team will be hanging out in Hawaii a bit longer  than
originally planned. They just emailed from paradise
to say they are extending dive operations off Maui at least through
mid-March.
That means there's still time to learn to fly the world's first
underwater plane in an incredibly beautiful place. (But not much
time!) One, two and three-day undersea flying adventures are available
and range in price from $3350 to $8650.
No diving or flying experience is necessary. You'll learn to
co-pilot the two-passenger craft from an expert. For more info,
visit our website or give us
a call at 800-644-7382.
