Fly Like the Pilots in Top Gun!

Ever since 1969 when the US Navy established Top Gun in Miramar, CA aspiring aviators have dreamed of ripping through the sky like a real life fighter pilot. Popularized by the original Top Gun movie from 1986, you know the show-stopping antics, larger-than-life pilot adventures, and the complex maneuvers featured in this ultimate aviation film. With the Top Gun sequel promising to be just as thrilling, make sure you don’t just sit on the sideline this time around. Now it’s your turn to get the full throttle-adrenaline rush of a real stunt plane only at Sky Combat Ace!


Channel your inner Maverick or Hangman and embark on a journey that follows many of the same stunts and mission profiles as seen in the hit film, Top Gun Maverick. For those of you that have the desire to try it all, this experience includes advanced multi-ship air-to-air combat, as well as the option to add advanced aerobatics or low level bombing run.


We built this package for those that truly want an utterly authentic fighter pilot experience that you simply cannot do anywhere else. Ideal for groups of 3 or more people, the Top Gun is our newest package and is without a doubt, the most advanced air combat experience in the world. Customers are divided into “Blue Air” verses “Red Air” teams and go head-to-head to see who will reign supreme in the skies over Las Vegas or San Diego. The “Blue Air” team will be tasked to protect a “High Value Target” (HVT) and the the “Red Air” team will try to sneak past the “Blue Air” to put bombs on target. As the “Blue Air” orbits in a combat air patrol (CAP) over the HVT, an air-to-air war will surely ensue as you experience what is called a “live vul time”, where the war is constantly evolving. Since you won’t know where the enemy is coming from, participants will need to scan high and low to try and detect enemy aircraft before they roll in at your six o’clock!


Participants will engage in the most challenging of missions, Air Combat Maneuvering (ACM), where there are no breaks between engagements, rather the winner stays and the loser pays in a “King of the Mountain” type of scenario. Just like the Sky Combat Experience, YOU FLY THE PLANE as your instructor pilot guides you to the merge! Don’t worry, you don’t need any flight experience, just a need for speed! Under the supervision of one of our expert combat fighter pilots, we teach you the art of basic fighter maneuvers, which will enable you to outmaneuver your opponent and get the kill. The best part is all engagements are scored, so that the results are rank ordered to find out who is truly the Best of the Best. Priced at $1,999 per person (plus a $180fuel surcharge), the Top Gun is guaranteed to satisfy the most hardened adrenaline junkies on the planet! 


After you have gotten your fill of air-to-air supremacy, you have the option to try your hand at advanced aerobatics. Once the air-to-air war is complete, it’s time to put bombs on target in our low level surface attack mission. Drop down to 10 feet off the ground and 250 miles per hour as you sneak up on the enemy to drop your 2,000 lb Mark 84 (simulated) munitions on an SA-5 missile site. 


The Top Gun showcases the best of what SCA has to offer. We guarantee to leave you breathless and amazed!


You don’t have to be a professional aviator for this thrilling flight experience. We’ve put together a realistic Top Gun fighter pilot package with our premium stunt planes for thrill-seekers who are ready to experience some serious G’s. Fly a plane like a real fighter jet pilot on the ultimate Top Gun ride!


PLEASE NOTE: The $1,999 pricing per person assumes a 2 or more people booking. For single bookings we apply a $500 surcharge to send up an opponent in a second airplane. The price at San Diego location is higher due to the added costs of ferrying aircraft and pilots from other locations. Discounts are available for groups of 7 or more.

I did the Top Gun experience for my Birthday on the last day of my Business trip and it was amazing. These guys have an amazing operation. To begin with they opened up a time slot for me on a day that was already booked full which was incredible because this was the only chance I had for this. Then Tim was amazing, explaining everything and helping me stay calm and still making it a fun and thrilling experience. They even have a cool hanger bar to chill in afterwards. I can’t wait to bring some forms and do the combat experience. I highly recommend Skycombatace.com.

Our Top Gun Planes

In the movie, the fictional MiG-28s are depicted by the Northrop F-5E (single-seat) and Northrop F-5F Tiger IIs (two-seat). The feeling of flying these prestigious planes can be replicated in our Extra 330LC aircraft. These are the world’s most advanced FAA-certified aerobatic airplanes and are ideal for an epic Top Gun pilot adventure. These planes can pull more G’s than an F-16!
