Floridians are First to Complete Space Training in the F-104 Starfighter Terence Witt and his wife Virginia Dickens of Indialantic, Florida, spent five days training at Kennedy Space Center with the team from Starfighters Aerospace. In February, the couple became the first to complete civilian space flight training in the F-104 Starfighter, the legendary jet used to prepare generations of astronauts for space travel. Terry and Virginia received classroom briefings and completed hands-on training in a hypobaric pressure chamber in preparation for the main event... high-speed flights in the Lockheed F-104 Starfighter designed to mimic the flight path of a suborbital space plane. Incredible Adventures is proud to have an exclusive contract to market this exciting new space adventure for Starfighters. IA's Greg Claxton and Sheri Lewis were on hand to watch Terry and Virginia's training and can answer any questions one might have about the program. Introductory training sells for $30,500 and a more advanced, two-flight program is available for $48,750. See photos from Greg and Sheri's adventure watching Terry and Virginia's adventure here.

He's the guy who flew an English Electric Lightning to the edge of space over Cape Town back in 1999 and then celebrated the 10th anniversary of that flight by traveling to Russia for a journey to the edge of space in a MiG-29. A few days ago, we received the following thank you note and photo from Simon: Hi Greg, I hope you accept my apologies for not getting in touch following my last trip which you magnificently organised...The trip was fab and went like clockwork. All the contacts were very efficient and we were never left in the unknown once...Thank you once again as I managed to realise my lifetime ambition of reaching the edge of space at a speed of Mach 2. Speak soon, Simon Simon is from the UK, but you probably already guessed that from his spelling. If you'd like to be like Simon and fly a MiG over Russia or view Cape Town from a legendary British fighter jet, give us a call at 800-644-7382. Edge of Space Named One of Top 10 Sky-High Destinations by Dubai Magazine IA's MiG flights to the edge of space were named one of the "Top 10 Sky-High Destinations" in the February 6 edition of Dubai's popular "The National" Magazine. In case you didn't know, the world's tallest building is in downtown Dubai. The new Burj Khalifa has over 160 stories and is more than 800 meters (2625 feet) tall. Book a MiG flight to the edge of space and you'll get to fly 26 times as high as the world's highest building. How cool is that? |
