"The Adventure Formerly Known as MIGS Over Moscow..."

It's time for a moment of truth. Our MiGs were never technically in Moscow. From 1993 until the end of 2005, flights took off from the town of Zhukovsky, located about 35 km southeast of the city.

We're excited to announce that beginning in October, our flights will depart from a new location in Russia. You'll now leave Moscow by small plane and travel 400 km away to the town of Nizhny Novgorod and the home of the aircraft plant Sokol. The Sokol factory has been manufacturing MiGs for over 70 years and supplies jet fighters to more than 30 countries.

Fly a MiG Over Russia The Sokol Aircraft Plant is currently the only facility in Russia officially authorized by the Russian Federation to provide fighter jet flights to civilians. (Zhukovsky's flight license was not renewed in 2006.)

Incredible Adventures is proud to be the only US company authorized to sell flights at this amazing facility. The jets and pilots are among the best in the world.

We're still in the process of updating our website and brochures to reflect these exciting changes (and trying to decide whether we need to rename the program). If you'd like immediate information on our new Russian flying adventures, call 800-644-7382 or email Greg today.

MiG-31 Replaces the MiG-25

We're also happy to announce that high-altitude flights are now being offered only in the MiG-31 Foxhound, the successor to the Foxbat. The MiG-31 is a new and improved version of the jet that earned a reputation for traveling to the edge of space.

Choose Your MiG-29 Flight Plan

MiG-29 In another change, when you book a MiG-29 adventure, you'll now have the opportunity to select from four separate flight profiles. We want you to have the adventure that's just right for you.

Now Offering Video on San Francisco Shark Dives

You asked for it and now we have it. Through a special arrangement with Aquatic Films of Key West, Florida, customers on our one day shark dives to San Francisco's Farallon Islands can now purchase a DVD of their adventure on the boat for just $50. Videographer Skyler Thomas spent time in South Africa photographing great whites in Gansbaii before joining the staff aboard our great white shark boat, The Tamalpais.

We still have a few dates left in this year's great white shark season in California. Cage dives are $875 and top side adventures are $375. No prior dive experience is required. For more information, call Sheri at 800-644-7382 or visit our cage diving website.

Dates to Remember

Tiger Shark Debut: December 1 & 2
Zero-G Florida: January 20th
Covert Ops: March 23 - 25

We Dare You to Keep Up With Bill

You read about him when he made his HALO jump from 30,000 feet. Then again, when he Bill and sister go shark diving completed his first zero-g flight. And again, when he went back with his 80-year-old sister for a second weightless flight. (You didn't read about his air combat adventure. But he's done that too.) On September 23, Bill House, 78-years-young, completed his first great white shark adventure in the Farallons. (We're saying first, because he's talking about going back...if he doesn't decide to meet us in the Bahamas instead for a tiger shark adventure.)

Test Dummies Wanted

Tiger Shark Cage Diving, Bahamas

We're looking for a few brave souls. Well..actually, you don't have to be too brave...just willing to "go with the flow" and help us "re-test" our new tiger shark cage diving adventure in the Bahamas. On December 1 & 2 we'll be on West End, Grand Bahama Island, running additional crew training trips and gathering video and photos for our new brochure. (Our first adventure trials were held in August and were extremely successful. We encountered lots and lots of big sharks during what was supposed to be the off-season.) If you'd like to be part of this opening weekend...when we test everything from hookah rigs to the quality of the food, we're offering a special deal. Cage dive adventures are $875, but if you join us for this very first weekend, we'll give you two days of incredible shark diving for the price of one. Only a few divers are permitted on these first two trips, so you'll also enjoy a ton of cage time while having the opportunity to provide suggestions for making our newest dive adventure even more incredible.

The Bahamas is an incredible place to view and photograph really big tiger sharks. The water is clear and warm and the sharks are plentiful. For more information about this new adventure, visit our website.

For January, February and March tiger shark dates, call or email Sheri.

Last Call for HALO Jumpers

When you jump out of a HALO Jumpers plane from nearly 30,000 feet up, you definitely want to have your wooly clothes on. The outside temperature during that first part of freefall can easily be 20 below zero. That's OK in the summer months, when you're falling toward warm air, but in the winter, you'd be just plain miserable. We don't believe in turning our customers into icicles so we end our HALO season in October when the weather starts to turn in Tennessee and don't resume jumps until April.

If you would like to HALO jump this year, the clock is ticking. Call Greg or Sheri today to get on the jump schedule or send us an email.

Jane's Top Three Excuses Why This September Newsletter is So Late

Rocket Jet IA Pres-ident Jane Reifert spent three days in Reno, Nevada attending the famous Reno Air Races. She was there to meet with the two men behind a brand new civilian rocketjet. Their incredible aircraft will one day take Incredible Adventures customers over 70,000 feet high and beyond the speed of sound. The jet has been designed for use as a civilian space flight trainer but has the interest of competitive air racers looking for the next great plane. The guys are still lining up funding (if you're interested in being a part of their plans, call us and we'll give you their numbers) but plan to be ready to provide flights in less than two years.

Jane then went on to San Jose for the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Space 2006 Conference. She headed a session on space tourism.

And then, she went on to San Francisco for the opening of great white shark season in San Francisco. It's a rough job, but someone has to perform "quality control" on all the company's adventures.
