Fly the Astronaut Maker!

Incredible Adventures is teaming up with Starfighters Aerospace to offer suborbital flight training featuring the legendary Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, the same jet used to prepare an entire generation of astronauts for space travel. Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts trained for space in the F-104. Now, you can too!

Suborbital flight training in the F-104 is available now through Starfighters Aerospace.

IA's newest space adventure takes place at the John F Kennedy Space Center, near Orlando, Florida. You'll take off and land on the very same runway used by today's astronauts.

Earlier this month, Starfighters, Inc. signed a historic Space Act Agreement with NASA, granting the Florida-based company permission to use NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility for commercial flight operations. 

Getting permission to offer suborbital training flights from NASA's Kennedy Space Center is HUGE. Training for space at the same facility used by America's astronauts is an incredible adventure! We're proud and excited to have been selected to oversee suborbital flight training sales for Starfighters.

The basic cost of a four-day training program at the Kennedy Space Center is $30,500 and includes security clearance, academic instruction, use of training equipment and one training flight in the F-104 Starfighter captured on high-definition video.

For more information, contact Incredible Adventures today.  Be one of the first to train for space in America's first Mach 2 fighter jet.

Training is offered in Orlando, Miami and West Palm Beach, Florida. The cost is $500 plus $117 for a state license valid seven years.  If you're interested, let us know and we'll put you in touch with Dan.

Dive With Sharks & We'll Feed You Crab

November marks the start of crab fishing season in San Francisco. Join us for a great white shark dive in San Francisco on November 7th or 8th and dine on fresh crab. For purely selfish reasons, (our shark crew loves fresh crab) we'll be picking up crab pots on the way back from the Farallones and cooking up a feast on the way back to Fisherman's Wharf. (It's our version of "Deadliest Catch" meets "Jaws".) Rumor is there will be some California wine-tasting after all the diving is done, in order to make it a true California experience.

If you'd like to skip the shark diving and spend a day touring San Francisco Bay and catching crabs, let us know. Our one-day shark boat, the New Eldorado III, is available for private fishing, sightseeing, party and corporate charters. We love Captain Eddie and his boat and are sure you will too.

Sixteen Years of Adventure

In October of 1993, we arranged our very first MiG flights over Moscow. Now, 16 incredible years later, we're able to introduce another historic first... the beginning of space flight training in an American fighter jet at a NASA facility. (We'd like to thank Starfighters Aerospace for choosing us to market their space training worldwide.  We couldn't have asked for a better 16th birthday gift!) New York Times writer Peter Passell was one of our very first customers. You can read what he had to say about his flight here.

Disabled Duo Dream the Extreme

On December 3, 2009, David Shannon and Christopher Watkins will celebrate "United Nations International Day of Independence" by making a high-altitude skydive near New Orleans, LA with the HALOJUMPER team. Canadians Shannon and Watkins are both lawyers in Thunder Bay, Ontario with disabilities. They embark on extreme adventures to demonstrate "there are no limits to the potential of the human spirit, regardless of any physical disability".  In April, David Shannon became the first person with quadriplegia and in a wheelchair to reach the North Pole. The two are planning an expedition to the South Pole next year. They call themselves "Team Independence" and are raising proceeds for a special scholarship fund for students with a disability.  You can contribute to the "Team Independence" scholarship fund by visiting www.teamindependence.ca. Dave and Chris are encouraging others, both disabled and non-disabled, to join them on their HALO jump adventure. The cost of a HALO jump is $3495. Join Dave and Chris on December 3 and Incredible Adventures will donate 10% of the jump fee to Team Independence. For more information, visit our website or call 800-644-7382.

San Francisco Shark Report

October 19, 2009 Hey Everyone, I thought I'd send out a note and let you know how things are going. So far, we are batting a thousand, with sightings on every single trip we've made. This Saturday was the topper for us and a new record with 12, that's right, 12 confirmed sightings. That's twice our previous record of sharks in a day. There were feedings, predations, spyhops, tail and fin slaps as well as some pretty major surface thrashing. The sharks were jumping like popcorn in a kettle, the day was beautiful after the fog had burned off and the seas were favorable and flat. Not terribly good water visibility, as there is a big red tide and ton of krill out there as well, but we did have a cage sighting as well. ~ Greg Barron, Director of West Coast Shark Operations Shark season in San Francisco ends November 15th. To book a great white shark adventure with Greg and the cage diver team, contact us at 800-644-7382.

Sharky Quotes, News & More

Note from a Happy Guadalupe Shark Diver: "Sheri, Thanks to you and the friendly professional crew of the Nautilus Explorer, the trip was a great success. When I first came aboard, I was treated as though I was a long lost friend rather than a first time visitor. The service and diving were outstanding and the knowledgeable crew taught us a great deal about the animals we observed." - B. Nora What Sharky Jill Does When She's Not Leading Tiger Shark Adventures: sharky Jill has been spending a lot of time working on the Shark Free Marina Initiative. This campaign is designed to reduce worldwide shark mortality rates, through prohibiting the landing of sharks within marinas for any reason ( i.e finning, meat processing or jaws).  On September 10, 2009 Old Bahama Bay Marina, the port of departure for IA's Tiger Shark Adventures, hung their signs and made a commitment to be Shark Free.
