Stunt Military Jet Flight Experience near Paris

About this tour

Have you ever felt an acceleration force so intense that you had to withstand 3 to 4 times your own body weight? That’s what you’ll experience during this aerobatic flight near Paris. For a few brief seconds, you’ll feel 3 to 4 Gs—a very rare sensation that most people only experience a few times in their life On the Agenda: An Aerobatic Flight Experience in Pontoise, near Paris Welcome: You’ll meet your instructor at the airfield near Paris. Pre-Flight Preparation: After a safety briefing, you’ll put on your helmet with a microphone and your flight suit. Once seated in the cockpit, you’ll strap yourself in securely. Takeoff: The pilot starts the engines and positions the plane on the runway. With clearance from the control tower, you’re off at full throttle! Acclimatization Flight: You’ll quickly reach cruising speed. Before beginning the aerobatic maneuvers, the pilot will introduce you to mild positive and negative G-forces. The Aerobatic Flight: The moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived! The instructor pulls the plane into a steep climb until it stalls. Then, you’ll dive towards the ground at over 300 km/h before the pilot pulls up, sending your adrenaline skyrocketing! You’ll perform spiral trajectories and many other maneuvers. Be prepared—the first aerobatic move is surprising, the second is enjoyable, and by the third… it’s pure bliss! Landing: The flight experience ends as you touch down on solid ground, though your mind might still be soaring in the sky! Aerobatic Maneuvers: In the skies over Paris, you’ll perform daring curves! Your pilot will execute loops and barrel rolls (rotating the plane along its vertical and longitudinal axes). You’ll experience spins and chandelles (where the plane climbs or dives at an angle of 70/80°). You’ll also try classic aerobatic figures such as reversals, hammerheads, and Cuban eights. Military Jet Aerobatic Experience: You’ll board a TB30 Epsilon. This military training aircraft was designed in the 1980s to train French Air Force pilots. It can reach speeds of up to 520 km/h and withstands up to 5 Gs!
