Flawless Execution
Regarding the execution of your event, you can be sure that whether you choose one of our combat proven event plans or have us develop a custom mission for your specific needs, the overall results will exceed your expectations. Exclusive use of our facilities, call sign name tags, refreshments and framed awards are just some of the standard features included with our events. Use of meeting facilities and catering from subs to steaks are options that can be incorporated with your event as required.

Something Different?
As for a unique activity, a mission at Air Combat Zone flying our simulators is unlike anything else. Your "pilots" won't need any flying experience, as learning to fly our CF-18 Hornet combat flight simulators is an integral part of our events. Our helpful mission commanders provide hands on training prior to your pilots climbing aboard the simulators for their exciting first flight. Our simulators feature fully functional controls, instrumentation, heads-up displays, and large screens displaying the world outside your cockpit. This helps to fully immerse your pilots in what we call the fighter pilot experience. An experience that is as exciting as it is unique.

Mission Success!
Once your pilots are trained, they will engage in a group activity aligned with your specific goals. Group fun, action packed competition or teambuilding are only a few examples of event goals that can be achieved at Air Combat Zone.

Action For The Whole Team.
With capacity for groups of up to 20 people or more for specific reception style events, those that aren't flying at any given point in time won't be bored. While missions are underway on the flight line there are lots of other related activities for guests to engage in. Group events and parties have excusive use of all our facilities during their events including:

-Fun and action in the Ready Room watching high octane jet fighter DVD's, improving hand-eye coordination with foosball table action, and magnetic darts competitions.

-Practising skills and learning new ones at The Combat Skills Development Center on the desktop PC simulators.

-The Conference Room is available for everything from pre-arranged catering to simply ordering pizza or subs when you arrive. It's a great room for socializing, playing a few hands of cards or watching more "Top Gun" combat action in surround sound on our 8 foot wide screen.

-Access to the Flight Line, home of our 4 Hornet combat flight simulators, while missions are underway. Check out how the competition stacks up, pick up on their strategies and techniques to enhance your own combat skills or share your prowess to help coach your friends.

The bottom line is that by combining the experience of training for and flying missions in our simulators with a facility designed to host meetings, events and parties, makes us your best choice for a completely different and successful event.

Intel Brief On Our CF-18 Combat Flight Simulators

Capt. D. "Super Dave" Pletz, 2004 CF-18 Hornet demo team pilot and many other "been there, done that" front line fighter pilots have all described our simulators the same way. "AWESOME". P. "Pitch" Molner, ex-CF-18 pilot, air show performer and current Alpha jet driver said "I've flown the new CF-18 sim - yours is very good in comparison". Fact is, our 4 CF-18 Hornet fighter jet combat flight simulators are the closest thing to actually flying a Hornet available to the public. Our ability to fly live action head-to-head dogfights against each other is functionality that is only available to military Hornet pilots within the last few years.


The following list outlines just some of the major features of our four simulators:

• HOTAS Equipped Joystick And Throttle Replica combat jet joystick and throttle with functional HOTAS (Hands On Throttle & Stick) Controls give finger tip control of the plane and its major systems. • Working HUD Providing key flight and combat data without having to look down inside the cockpit, the Hornet's HUD (Heads Up Display) keeps the pilot's head out of the cockpit and finding targets. • Live Cockpit Instrumentation 3 MFD's (Multi Function Displays), including working menu selection buttons, as well as engine and auxiliary flight instruments provide all the weapons, radar , flight and navigation information you'll need to complete your mission. • Giant View Of The World Around You The 8' x 6' WOTC (World Outside The Cockpit) screen gives an IMAX-like sensation of motion. • Functional Buttons And Switches You're in control of weapon selection, radar mode and sub-mode selection for both air-to-air and air-to-ground combat, countermeasures, landing gear, flaps, tail hook, auto pilot mode selection and engagement, navigation controls, and much, much, much more. Over 70 functional buttons and switches in all. • Networking For Live InterACTION! All four of our simulators are networked together so pilots can interact together in our cyber skies. Whether it's a group search & rescue mission, a communications challenge or a live action Top Gun dogfighting competition, the connectivity of our simulators keeps the group engaged together.

Don't worry though. While a cockpit full of functional controls sounds overwhelming, you won't need them all on your first mission. We'll show you how to use the joystick and throttle to fly the plane and 5 buttons and switches and then you'll be off on your first air combat mission in the Hornet. Experienced pilots and flight sim enthusiasts can go far beyond the basics by just asking for more. This makes our missions suitable for people with all levels of ability.

At the end of the day it's important to note that no one is expected to go out and defend the nation at the end of a mission in one of our simulators! Our events are all about exceeding your event goals with the fun and thrills of a fighter pilot experience like nothing you've ever seen before. An experience that has impressed people from actual pilots of fighters like the F-14 Tomcat, F-15 Eagle, F-16 Viper and the CF-18 Hornet all the way to those who've never seen a jet.
