Ever since Top Gun shot down all the box office opposition in 1986, fighter pilots have epitomised the very essence of cool; aviator sunglasses, those awesome flight jackets, incredibly fast planes, the oft-mentioned need for speed, and that sugary sweet soundtrack. And let’s not forget the ultimate high of remedying those tiresome hostile actions before hitting err… cruise control… and getting the girl.

The only problem with wanting to emulate the adventures of Maverick, Iceman and Goose (poor, tragic Goose) is that you'd have to join the air force and spend years learning to fly the fighter planes. While of course there's nothing wrong with following that particular course of action, for those of us who are a bit less patient it seemed a lost cause. Until now.

Designed to get you airborne in a jiffy, these magnificent ultimate high flying experiences let you play fighter pilot, performing a whole range of miraculous flying manoeuvres and perfectly pirouettes with a helpful instructor by your side. And the really good part? You'll get to tail-chase in a pretend dog-fight!

Yes, flying experiences don't come much with many more ultimate highs than these - it's just you, the plane and the eminently qualified flying instructor who'll encourage you to push your limits. Oh, and the biggest adrenaline rush you'll ever experience of course!
