When can
I make my video?
Flights are possible year-round but must be scheduled in advance.
Do I need to be a pilot or have prior jet flying experience?
No. We’ll send you up with an expert L-39 pilot. The L-39 is a
jet trainer and was designed so it could easily be flown by student
fighter pilots. The pilot in command can actually have his hands
on the controls at the same time you do, helping to guide you
through maneuvers. On camera, it will appear you are flying the
jet.
How long will all this take?
The flight itself will last about 45 minutes, but it’s a good
idea to plan for this video-making adventure to take at least
two hours to complete. Your day starts with a briefing session
where you’ll learn about the L-39 and it’s capabilities and safety
systems. You’ll also hear how the L-39 has been used in making
movies. After the flight, you’ll want time to celebrate a bit
with your pilot and film production team.
What physical requirements are there?
You must have no known heart problems or medical conditions which
may be aggravated by g-forces. If you are taller than 6’6” or
heavier than 250 pounds, we may not be able to accommodate you.
Please ask before scheduling your film shoot.
Is weather a problem?
It can be, although California and Nevada are known for great
weather. If you can’t fly due to weather, there is no refund.
We’ll work to reschedule your flight for another day.
Where
are the best accommodations?
Hollywood TopGun Flights depart from Van Nuys Regional Airport
in Van Nuys, California. The AirTel
Plaza Hotel is located at the airport. When we're on location
in Las Vegas, our flights depart from Henderson Executive Airport.
Stay anywhere on the strip and you're just a 20 minute drive from
the airport.
