MiG Flyer Rates Adventure a "10 out of 10"

MiGs Over Russia flights On October 16th, a 72-year-old retired British aerospace engineer became the first Incredible Adventures customer to fly a MiG at Aircraft Building Plant Sokol. Nick flew a MiG 29 with honored pilot of Russia Yuri Polyakov. In a phone call from Russia, Nick told IA's Director of Sales Greg Claxton it was "a day to remember".

You can see photos from Nick's day at the base here. We've also updated our website with new pilot bios, airbase info and more.

Don't Believe Everything You Read

A quick "Google" search will turn up websites of several companies still advertising MiG flights at Zhukovsky Air Base. Despite what you may read online, flights at Zhukovsky are no longer possible. There is currently only one place where you can fly a MiG over Russia and Incredible Adventures is the only non-Russian company that can take you there.

Thanks for Sharing!

The response to our online Space Survey was "incredible", to say the least. We'd like to thank all who participated for taking the time to share their opinions and comments.

A summary of the results is now available, absolutely free, on the Spaceport Associates website or you can download it here. (Derek Webber of Spaceport Associates is now hard at work on a more detailed analysis of responses that will be available to interested parties for $750.)

Congratulations go out to R. Jordan, the lucky winner of a flying adventure. His entry was chosen at random from all those submitted by survey participants.

New Biplane Adventure in California

Waco Classic Open Pit Biplane Mike "Rocket" Blackstone, the man behind our California Skythrills Adventure, has gone shopping. For some men, shopping means a new home entertainment system. For Mike, it means a new adventure for you. When you book a California Skythrills Adventure, you now have the option of adding on a flight in a 1935* Waco Classic Open Cockpit Biplane. (*Actually, it's a 10 year old plane made by Waco to look like a 71 year old plane.) Add a little history to your day for $425. Contact usi for details.

Thunder City Lightnings Receive Standing Ovation at Air Show

An estimated 70,000 people watched as the world's only flying English Electric Lightnings flew in perfect formation. The performance by our Cape Town Jets pilots was a highlight of South Africa's Defence Week Air Show. (The event is South Africa's equivalent of the UK's Farnborough Show.)

If you'd like to have your very own incredible adventure in an English Electric Lightning over South Africa, call or email Greg.
