Video: Sky Combat Ace takes flight in San Diego

SAN DIEGO — Las Vegas-based Sky Combat Ace will open its second location in San Diego July 1, taking off from Gillespie Field with its aerobatic and aerial combat experiences.

Customers can choose to fly either an Extra 330LC aerobatic stunt plane capable of pulling +/- 10 G’s; or a Waco Classic open cockpit biplane. Guided by an SCA pilot, customers will have the chance to take the controls of the aircraft.

Sky Combat Ace pairs you up with actual fighter pilots to learn the art of basic fighter maneuvering. You can fly with just the fighter pilot or take on one of your friends and test your skills against an equally matched adversary. Under the supervision of SCA's highly trained fighter pilot instructors, you are the one at the controls, you are the one squeezing the trigger and you get the satisfaction of scoring a hit on your opponent.
