Watch the Really Big Parachute

In June, three crew members aboard the International Space Station will make their way back to earth in a Russian Soyuz. You can be there, on the ground in Kazakhstan, camera in hand, helping to welcome them home.

Incredible Adventures is teaming up with representatives of the Russian Space Agency to provide a rare, first-hand look at the Soyuz recovery process.  Closely follow the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center Search and Rescue Team as they monitor the descent of Soyuz TMA-17, locate its landing spot, retrieve the crew and transport them for post-flight medical evaluation.

The five day, four night space adventure begins and ends in Moscow and includes lodging in both Russia and Kazakhstan, transfers, tours, landing site access and some meals. The cost is $9500 per person and space is extremely limited. For a detailed itinerary, visit our website or send us an email.

He's Ready for a Space Flight

IA's Jane Reifert and Greg Claxton were at Kennedy Space Center earlier this week to watch another adventurer complete space flight training in the F-104 Starfighter.

Watching an F-104 take off, perform a vertical climb, make low passes and complete a shuttle-style landing is an incredible way to spend a work day.

You can give the IA team another excuse to visit Kennedy Space Center.  Sign up for Space Flight Training with Starfighters Aerospace. View a sample itinerary and flight video on IA's website, or contact Incredible Adventures for more information.

An Unpaid Ad for a New Favorite Place

Celebrate the completion of your F-104 Space Flight Training at Kennedy Space Center at nearby Shuttles.  Shuttles Dugout Sports Bar and Grill in nearby Merritt Island, Florida has become a regular post-training stop for the Starfighters team.  If you're visiting Kennedy Space Center, be sure to stop off at Shuttles for a stromboli. You just might run into our Starfighters space training team.  (We believe in supporting local businesses whenever we can.)

Something You May Not Know

Did you know the Kennedy Space Center runway where the Space Shuttle and our F-104 Starfighters land is right in the middle of a wildlife refuge? Shuttle Landing Facility Air Traffic Control Crew must take great care to insure the runway is clear of critters and pilots are alerted to any birds in the area.

Something Else You May Not Know

The MiG-29 is a great plane to take to the edge of space. Many people don't realize the aerobatic fighter performs great at high altitude and offers a spectacular backseat view of the curvature of the earth. Now is a great time to plan a trip to Russia to fly the legend.  Security clearance can take up to 50 days to obtain so plan now to fly this summer.
