When we first met Amy Sorlie, she was reporting on IA's white
shark adventures in San Francisco for Men's Journal Magazine
and American
Way, the inflight publication of American Airlines. Now, we
know Amy as the screenwriter behind "Dark Tide", a movie due
out next summer, starring Halle Berry.
 "Dark
Tide" tells the story of a diving instructor and white shark
naturalist who returns to the water after a near-fatal encounter with
a Great White shark. (Hopefully the movie won't portray sharks as evil
killing machines.)
Here's what Amy had to say when we checked in with her earlier this
month:
"Great timing! I just got back from the set and the movie is going
to be amazing! Halle is lovely and did a great job with all the diving,
etc. This has been an amazing experience to see it all come together!
I will send you release date information when it gets closer!"
If you'd like to cage dive with white
sharks, there's still time. Call or email
for available dates.
 There's
no comparison. Zero-gravity flights in the US are great fun, but they
are nothing like a zero-gravity adventure in Russia.
In Russia, you experience weightlessness aboard the very same plane
used to train Russian cosmonauts and sometimes American astronauts for
space travel. The IL-76 MDK is huge, giving you an incredible amount
of space in which to float, fly and somersault through the air. The
downside, if there is one, is that a zero-g flight in Russia is as close
to the real deal as it gets. The flight isn't "watered down"
to accommodate for "civilian stomachs". A Russian zero-g flight
is a true test of whether or not you have the right stuff.
Because the plane is used to train REAL Russian cosmonauts and sometimes
American astronauts, flight availability is limited. The only available
flight this year is set for December 15th. Space is limited to a maximum
of 15 individuals and the cost is approximately $9000, for a program
that includes training, lodging, meals, tours and more.
 In
Florida, we offer personal zero-g flights
for the bargain price of $2500 per person. Because you're the only
floater, the flight is customized to your comfort level. Scheduling
is easy. Flights are available six days a week, all year long.
 Earlier
this month, Colin McCallum flew a MiG-29
to the edge of space, fulfilling a dream he hoped to share with his
partner Pauline. Sadly, she died of cancer before they could make the
trip to Russia together. See their story, as it was reported on
Australian TV. (You might want to have a tissue ready.) More photos
from Colin's day at the base can be found on our website.
We've got adventures, yes we do. We've got adventures, where are you?
Fly a jet or dive with sharks. We're better than an amusement park.
Incredible Adventures is number one. Give us a call if you need some
fun.
(This cheer is brought to you by Holly, IA's incredible high school
intern. When she's not cheering for Incredible Adventures, she's cheering
Sarasota's Riverview Rams on to victory.)

 Sad
news out of South Africa. Mike Beachy Head, Founder and
CEO of Thunder City, has made the tough decision to end all adventure
flights over Cape Town in the English
Electric Lightning, BAE Buccaneer and Hawker Hunter, effective
immediately.
You
can read the official press release on our website.
We first met Mike back in 1998 when he invited us to Cape Town
to see the facility he was building to house the world's largest
privately owned collection of  ex-combat
jets. At that time, the Lightnings were still in pieces, so Greg
Claxton was treated to a low-level flight in the Bucc he'll never
forget. Officially established in 2000, Thunder City's fleet grew
to include 3 Lightnings, 3 Buccaneers and 7 Hawkers. We'll forever
admire the care that went into perfectly restoring each of the
aircraft.
You can view photos of some of the SLB's lucky enough to experience
a Cape Town Jet adventure on
our website. (Mike jokingly referred to IA clients as
SLB's...short for Self Loading Baggage.)
Let this serve as a gentle warning. Don't put off a dream adventure.
There's no guarantee an adventure will be available forever.

 You
no longer have to be an advanced diver to join South Africa's
legendary Sardine
Run. Beginning in 2011, snorkelers will also be welcome to
join the annual sea life migration.
The multi-day ocean adventure begins and ends in Durban, South
Africa and retails for $3995 per person. We're now taking reservations
for June and July 2011 dates.
When it comes to describing the excitement of the Sardine
Run, a video is worth a million words. View videos,
see photos and learn more on our website
or call Sheri at 800-644-7382 for complete details.
