The team at
Flightdeck has successfully created the ultimate air-combat simulation experience without the
shirtless volleyball scene or corny 80s soundtrack. Today’s Perk allows the everyday civilian to experience the not so everyday task of dog fighting. You’ll go toe to toe with Ajax, Rampage, Toto, and whatever other call signs you come up with for each of your friends (up to seven can fly at once) in a brilliantly rendered environment through realistic terrains. Once the 40 minutes of pure action is up, you’ll all receive your dog tags as certification of accomplishing Flight Deck Aviation School. In addition to the 40 minutes of pure action in the cockpit, you’ll all receive your dog tags as certification of accomplishing your inaugural mission as an
F-16 fighter pilot.
Flightdeck launches each mission with each pilot first getting suited up in full actual military aviation attire, followed by a pre-flight briefing on instructions, and then getting dropped into your authentic F-16 fighter jet cockpit. You’ll start off with an airport take off followed by learning the basics of turning and maneuvering and then move on to the socially acceptable violent stage (aka "dogfighting") using your missiles and guns. During your flight, you’ll have full radio communication with Flightdeck's Air Traffic Control crew as well as every other pilot in your flight. You’ll quickly pick up the tricks of the trade while discerning the various sighs of anguish as you blast other pilots out of the air. Your flight will end with a landing back at the airport but your experience will last long after you receive your scorecard telling you how well you did in the dogfight and landing procedure!
Please keep in mind that air-nausea is not included in this package and like all virtual military fighter simulators, the cockpit does not move.
Flight simulators are have long been used in the U.S. Military and recently adopted by NASA as a way to train potential pilots. You can buy up to 25 perks as they make great gifts for friends & loved ones.
