DC-3 Adventure - No Longer Just for Pilots
 Great
news for all you non-pilots who have been dying to fly the classic DC-3.
A pilot's license is no longer required for this incredible flying adventure.
The original pilot license requirement was based on the fact two pilots
are required to take-off and land the classic airliner. Now, if you
aren't a pilot, you'll start and finish the flight in the jump seat
while a co-pilot we provide sits in the left seat assisting DC-3 flight
instructor Dan Gryder. During the flight itself, you'll be permitted
to sit in the left seat for an introductory lesson in flying the plane
credited with making commercial air travel popular. This adventure
is available year round near Atlanta. For more info, visit
our website or call us at 800-644-7382.
Russian Ops: Fun in the Wilderness With Guns,
Knives & Shovels
 Spend
three intense days at our Russian
Ops training camp near Denver, learning wilderness survival, pistol
shooting, self-defense and more from the same guys responsible
for training government anti-terror teams. The program combines
training elements from Russia's Spetsnaz, Britain's SAS and the US Army's
Special Forces. You'll probably never need to know how to throw a knife
or fight with a shovel, but don't let that stop you from signing up
for this fun outdoor adventure. The cost is $2275 per person and
our next camp takes place October 4th-7th. For details, email
Sheri.
MAKS 2007 - An Incredible Event in Russia
Galina, our general manager in Moscow, sent us these great
photos from the opening day of MAKS 2007, a huge airshow held at Zhukovsky
Air Base every other year. (We offered MiG
flights at Zhukovsky from 1993-2005. Now we fly out of Nizhny Novgorod.)
She also sent us links to two incredible videos from MAKS 2005. One
features Team Rus and the pilot you can fly with if you book an L-39
flight in Russia at Vyazma. The other shows just what a MiG-29 can
do in the hands of a great pilot.
We know flying
a MiG in Russia isn't cheap, but trust us when we say the experience
is worth every penny...and more. If you'd like to fly
a MiG before the snow flies, call 1-800-FLYMIGS or send
Greg an email.
Our Adventures are Incredible, But Definitely Not
Fabulous
 We
are Incredible Adventures.
We are not Incredible
and Fabulous Adventures. We're a real company. Incredible
and Fabulous Adventures is not. We discovered the fake
company's website when we were Googling ourselves. (We do that occasionally...just
to make sure people looking for Incredible Adventures can find
us.)
The site contains lots of great information about flying
MiGs and training for space. (That's because the info was stolen
from our website!) Someone who didn't know better could actually believe
they were a division of our company.
Please be very, very careful when shopping online.
Make sure a company is real before parting with your money.
Here are four other "companies" to avoid:
Extreme Travel & Adventures: www.rusad.com
(Another fake company that stole our stuff!)
Atlas Aerospace: www.atlasaerospace.net
Company owner Yuri Nikiforov is missing. So is a lot of customer money.
1-800SkyRide...now reincarnated as ThrillPlanet: www.thrillplanet.com
(They're now advertising gift certificates for warbird flights.
Buy one and you could discover that all you've bought is a piece of
paper. Read more about the two "companies" here.
FlyMiG.com: www.flymig.com
(They'll make you believe over 90 people have flown at Zhukovsky Air
Base this year. The truth is the base stopped providing civilian
flights in 2005.)
IA's President to Attend AIAA's Space 2007
Incredible Adventures President Jane Reifert will be co-chairing
a session on space tourism at this year's Space
2007, a huge annual conference sponsored by the American Institute
of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). This year's event takes place
in Long Beach, CA in September.
Incredible Adventures offers lots of great space
adventures, including a cosmonaut training adventure in Russia and
a three-day spaceflight preparation program in Pennsylvania. A lot of
the programs are so new, they haven't made it on to the website. For
the latest offerings, contact
Greg at 800-644-7382.
We Made Stuff
Stuff Magazine, that is. Our incredible adventures
earned a mention in the September issue of the popular men's magazine,
out on magazine stands now. (We're headed out to pick up our own
copy of the publication now.)

Be Thankful You Aren't an Elephant Seal

Join Greg, Peter and the rest of our incredible shark team aboard
the Tamalpais for an incredible great
white shark adventure. (That would be diver and
shark guy Greg, not to be confused with MigMan Greg.)
Our giant shark boat departs from the town of Tiburon, located
just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. We leave
before dawn and journey 25 or so miles out to a grouping of
miniature mountains known as the Farallon Islands. Lots of wild
things happen out at the Farallons but we go there for one reason
only...in hopes of seeing a shark attack. More than one on a good
day. (The technical term is "a predation".) Each year, lots
of very big Great White Sharks travel to the Farallons in search
of the giant elephant seals they prey upon...ie...eat for dinner.
This year's shark season starts September 22 and continues
through November 18. Lots of dates are already sold out,
so if you'd like to join us for a Great White Shark Adventure
contact us soon. For more information, visit our website
or email Sheri.

Info That Didn't Fit Anywhere Else...
|
|
The vehicle formerly known as the Deep
Flight Aviator (now it's the SAS
Aviator), will be making an appearance at this year's Fort
Lauderdale Boat Show in October. Although sub rides are
not currently available, we hope they'll return to our adventure
line-up soon. (The aviator has been out of commission while it
received a lot of great upgrades.) In the meantime, you
can find the latest SAS Aviator photos and information at
www.subaviators.com
The best place to dive with Great White
Sharks continues to be Isla
Guadalupe, Mexico. It takes a while to get there and back
but the journey is worth it. The multi-day liveaboard adventures
start each year in August and continue through November. Sheri
will be happy to give you all the details.
US
Zero-G is going Platinum on November 3rd. On that
date, a special zero-gravity flight with American astronaut
Buzz Aldrin will take off from Las Vegas. Be part of this special
event for $9345. Call us if you'd like to float with Buzz. 800-644-7382
(Other flights are available for $3675. Click
here for dates.)
If you've always wanted to trek through
the Amazon with the kind of guys that will cook up a gator
or ocelot for dinner, we can help make it happen. A "friend
of a friend" runs a jungle survival camp in Peru. The next program
takes place in November. At just $1200 plus airfare, it's an adventure
bargain. (Of course, you will have to build your own
"hotel room".) If you're interested, give us a call or send
us an email and we'll direct you to all the info.
