 Thanks
to a new partnership with the Historic Flight Foundation near Seattle,
Washington, Incredible Adventures is now able to offer a multi-day flying
adventure featuring three classic warbirds: the F7F-3 Tigercat, the
B-25 Mitchell and the T-6 Texan.
The Foundation's Tigercat, christened "Bad Kitty" is one black cat
you want to cross your path. It's one of just six Grumman Tigercats
still flying today.
Grumman designed the  Tigercat
to be the Navy's first twin-engine fighter capable of launching from
Midway carriers, but the new fighter flunked its carrier landing tests.
The plane saw no service in World War II but was used as a low-level
fighter and photo reconnaissance plane in the Korean War.
By 1954, almost all Tigercats were headed to the scrap heap. Luckily,
"Bad Kitty" was one of several rescued and given new lives as fire fighters.
"Bad Kitty" flew over 1300 hours as a fire fighter. If cats have nine
lives, "Bad Kitty" is now on Life #3, helping visitors to the Historic
Flight Foundation experience aviation history first hand.
 In
addition to a flight in "Bad Kitty", our new Warbirds Over Washington
Adventure includes a flight in "Grumpy", a B-25 Bomber and a T-6, that
probably has a name too, but we don't know it. The $10,500 price
also includes ground transfers from Seattle/Tacoma Airport to the Historic
Flight Foundation's home in the nearby town of 
Mukilteo, plus waterfront accommodations and Boeing Tour tickets. (There
is no extra charge to "split" the package with a friend. Ask us for
details if you're interested.)
This program is so new, it's not on our website yet, so if you want
more information, you need to give us a call or send
us an email. We have, however, posted a great Tigercat
video taken at the famous Reno Air Races on the Featured
Videos page of our site.
We've been on a mission to locate another Douglas DC-3 available for
introductory flights and pilot training. (The DC-3 flights we've
been offering near Atlanta are not currently available.) We're excited
to announce that we've found one!
We can't release all the details just yet, but if you've been dying
to get into a DC-3, give us a call or send
us an email. We can make it happen....some place sunny...not far
from a beach...or our office.
 This
warning goes out to all procrastinators and last-minute planners. It
can take up to 60 days to obtain the necessary security clearance to fly
a MiG-29 in Russia. Most of our adventures can be arranged with
very little advance notice, but a MiG adventure requires advance planning.
Look at it this way....that gives you more time to look forward to
the thrill of flying
in a legendary MiG.
For Those Who Fly By the Seat of Their Pants*
 Let's
say you get the sudden urge to fly a fighter jet and can't bring yourself
to wait two months. We do have an option for you. If you can get yourself
to California
or Florida, we can sometimes arrange a flying adventure with as little
as a few days' notice. Flying in an L-39 jet trainer is not the
same as flying in a MiG-29, but it's an incredible adventure without
a doubt.
*Sorry. Sometimes, we can't resist the urge to use American slang,
even though we know some of our readers are from other countries and
might not "get it".
 We're
On Facebook
We don't have a lot of Facebook
friends and we'd like to have more, but liking
us in entirely optional. We'll still like you even if you don't
like us.

 In
2005, Music4children
broke the world record for the "The Highest Gig" at Kalapattar
Mt Everest and raised enough money to build an orphanage for the
children of Nepal.
Their record setting performance at 5545 meters (18,190 feet)
has since been topped by another group, so they're heading back
to Nepal this October to reclaim their place in the record books
and raise additional money for the orphanage.
You can join them, either as a musician or an audience member.
Either way, it's sure to be an event you'll remember forever.
 This
time, the World's Highest Gig is planned for Mera Peak in Nepal
and an altitude of 6476 meters (21,240 feet). Mera Peak is the
highest of the "trekking peaks" in Nepal. Performers and
audience members need not be super fit or experienced mountain
climbers. The trek will follow "the easy route" up Mera and includes
extra time to acclimatize to altitude.
Incredible Adventures is proud teaming with Music4children
and Adventure First Nepal to offer three separate participation
options, ranging in duration from 11 to 24 days and in price from
$6900 - $28000.
If you can't join the group from start to finish, you can shorten
the trip by skipping the trek down and flying back by helicopter.
If time is even shorter, you can skip the Highest Gig on Mera
and meet up with the group on their return. On the way back
down, they'll be stopping in Lukla to perform at a monastery and
street festival.
Watch
this video and listen to Music4children Founder Oz Bayldon talk
about the World's Highest Gig.
If you can't be part of this special event, please consider making
a donation to this great organization. For more information, give
us a call or send
us an email.

 You
don't have to be a licensed skydiver to join Klaus and the incredible
Everest
Skydive team in Nepal this October. Tandem jumps are offered
to those with little or no prior skydiving experience.
Our friend Klaus found  last
year's Everest
Skydive so incredible that he's going back this October to
Skydive Everest again. (That will be after he returns from the
Sardine Run in South Africa. He's a very adventurous friend.)
You could brag you made your very first skydive
at Everest, which sounds lots more impressive than saying
you made your first jump in Florida.
For a sense of just how amazing the Everest Skydive Adventure
really is, watch
the 20 minute video on our website. To receive complete adventure
details, send
us an email.
