 Good
news for busy adventurers! You can now complete the same great Starfighter
Space Flight Training in half the time. What debuted as a four-day
program at NASA's Kennedy Space Center near Orlando is now a two-day
program, thanks to some careful tweaking of the itinerary.
Day one now starts bright and early at the NASA badging center,
where you'll be issued the ID badge needed to get past  the
guard gate and meet with Starfighters' flight surgeon. Once you're cleared
to start training, you'll be fitted for your flight suit, helmet and
flight safety equipment. The rest of the morning is devoted to ejection
seat, parachute and water survival training.
After lunch in a cafeteria full of rocket scientists, you'll be briefed
in flight  physiology
and the principles of high-altitude flight. Your knowledge is then put
to the test during a late afternoon "flight" in a hypobaric
pressure chamber.
Day two starts even earlier, but does anyone really mind getting
up early to fly a fighter jet? After a final safety review and final
cockpit safety checks, you'll strap into the cockpit of the F-104 and
take off on a supersonic mission you'll never forget.
Your Starfighter
flight profile has been carefully designed to prepare you for the
physical challenges of a suborbital space flight. You'll experience
the stomach-crunching g-forces of a high-speed vertical climb and the
near-magical sensation of weightlessness that kicks in as you begin
your journey back toward earth. Just when you think it can't get any
better, you'll perform a rapid descent and space shuttle profile landing.
The cost of the two-day training program is $30,000. You can add a
second training flight in the plane we call "the astronaut maker"
for $23,000.
Our new itinerary hasn't been posted to our website yet, but you can
download it here.
For more information, please call or email
us.
 Nik
Halik, perhaps the world's best known thrillionaire, crossed another
adventure off his bucket list when he made an incredible Skydive over
Everest on May 18th. Nik is the author of the self-published book "The
Thrillionaire" and the man behind www.thethrillionaires.com,
kind of a Facebook/social networking site for thrillionaires and wannabe
thrillionaires. You can read more about Nik, on his personal website,
www.nikinspace.com.
 If
a Skydive
Over Everest is on your bucket list, give us a call. No skydiving
experience is required to make a tandem jump near the world's tallest
mountain. Based on current exchange rates, the cost is $31,000 and we're
now taking reservations for October. For more information, visit
our website or call us today. (Special thanks to Everest Skydive's
Wendy Smith for the great photos!)
 We're
not going to lie to you. There is another company selling MiG
flights in Russia. We're not going to tell you they're a bad company,
because we don't believe in talking trash about competitors. Instead,
we're going to tell you why we think you should book your MiG
adventure with Incredible Adventures.
Incredible Adventures
has been delivering MiG
flights in Russia since 1993, longer than any other company, American
or Russian. In nearly 17 years of business, we've arranged more flights
than we can count. One customer has flown with us 12 times and just
called to ask about another flight. Hopefully, that tells you something.
Obtaining security clearance now takes up to 60 days, so if you'd like
to fly
a MiG with Incredible Adventures, plan ahead and call or email
Greg. (See photos of our latest clients here.)

School Days
Portions of the Incredible Adventures website
will appear in school textbooks. Students will be asked to read
about our adventures and answer questions correctly, in order
to test their reading comprehension. How cool is that? Why
didn't we get to read about fun stuff back when we were in elementary
school?
Celebrity Gossip
A certain survival expert is set to have his own television show
on a major cable television network this fall. Keep watching this
newsletter for details.
Everyone Needs One
 You
can survive pretty much anything, as long as you have your very
own Hawke's
Hellion 2020 Survivor Knife clipped to your belt. Hawke's
creation receives rave reviews in the upcoming September issue
of Tactical Knives Magazine. When he's not designing
incredible survival tools, starring in television shows or writing
survival books, Mykel
Hawke leads IA's Specops Adventures. If you're interested
in a survival adventure with Hawke, let
us know. We'll make sure you're notified of upcoming program
dates.
Fantasy Spy Camp Part of TV Plot
The finale of ABC's popular crime drama "Castle" featured
a storyline we found rather interesting. The murder victim
was killed while participating in a fantasy spy camp. In the TV
show, the adventure company could arrange realistic spy-themed
scenarios. Sound like anyone you know?
Special Ops are our specialty. Be sure to check out our newest
adventure: Tactical
Ops. Learn what it's like to be a SWAT officer on the
front line of duty. Training takes place near Sacramento, CA.
Email
us for complete details.
She Finds the Best Free Stuff
Incredible Adventures has an incredible webmaster. Nancy is great
at finding fun new gadgets and gizmos for our website. Last week,
she introduced us to Animoto. The software (free for non-commercial
use) makes it super easy to create videos from photos and video
clips. Expect to see several "Incredible Adventures Productions"
on our website in the coming month, starting
with this one. (You know we like the stuff if we're giving
Animoto a
free plug in our newsletter!)
