We
hate cold weather. We start whining when the temperature outside our
Florida office drops below 75. Lucky for you, jet engines are nothing
like us. They love cold weather and perform their best in cold,
crisp air.
There's no need to wait for warm weather to start planning your
MiG adventure. One of the best times to schedule a flight to the
edge of space is actually during Russia's winter months. According to
Oleg Fedorov, Deputy CEO of the Sokol Aircraft Plant, the MiG-29 flies its highest when the weather
is cold.
For more information about our special winter flight packages, contact
Greg. Please keep in mind it can take 60 days to obtain the necessary
security clearance to fly, so you need to call soon to fly
a MiG in January or February.
Have we told you about Marina? She's our incredible tour guide in Moscow.
Marina has been guiding IA clients around the city for every one of
our 17 years. She helps make sure our MiG flyers get the most out of their free time in Russia.
Marina recently emailed Greg to suggest we offer a VIP tour of Stalin's
Bunker. Hidden deep beneath a sports stadium near the ever-popular Ismailova
Market, the bunker was built to accommodate 2000 people and is now part
of the Central Museum
of the Armed Forces. If you can't join us for the real thing, you
may wish to view the video tour of the bunker we found on YouTube.
If you want to dive with great white
sharks in San Francisco, you'll have to wait until next year. This
year's season at the Farallones has come to an end.
Here's a few of our favorite comments from this year's shark divers:
"It
was a great experience! The staff was great and catered to our every
need. Fresh crab for lunch. Amazing scenery under the water. While we
did not have a close encounter with a shark, the overall experience
was great. We did get to see a gray whale up close, and saw a shark
grab a seal in the distance....something that most people will only
get to see on Discovery's Shark Week." - Thomas
"An experience like no other - when you're looking at a great
white within striking distance everything else in the world ceases to
exist, and the fear and excitement blend together into a feeling beyond
words. (Well, that's what happened to me anyway.) - Amit
"Well, the water was a
bit murky and I couldn't see very far, but all of the sudden there was
an explosion of bubbles and thrashing about 20 feet in front of the
cage and a huge great white swam down and directly past the cage! It
took a huge bite out of the seal cutout. Everyone up top saw it jump
out of the water and we saw it crash down from below. It was truly unbelievable.
The weather was perfect." - Andrew

Our friend Derek Webber
from Spaceport Associates has published a new book, available
on Amazon. "The Wright Stuff: The Century of Effort
Behind Your Ticket to Space", is a great gift for anyone
who dreams of a trip to space.
Back
in 2006, we teamed up with Derek to complete "The Adventurers'
Survey", a study of space tourism preferences. (The
report can be downloaded
free from the Spaceport Associates website, if anyone is interested
in seeing the results.)
We can't offer flights to space just yet, but we'll soon be able
to get you pretty darn close. To reserve your seat
aboard XCOR Aerospace's Lynx Rocketship, give us a call. Flights
retail for $95,000. A $20,000 deposit holds your space. (Pun intended.)
XCOR Aerospace recently inked a deal to provide one of their
Lynx vehicles to the country of Curacao. (Read the XCOR press
release here.)
