I bought 2 Sky Combat experiences for my friends (which they forced us to reschedule twice) and finally, on the day of, one of the planes didnt start, so they ended up doing a Top Gun experience ($600 less for two tickets) instead. Sky Combat Ace didnt even call me about this and I had to call them myself, and they were extremely rude over the phone before agreeing to only refund the difference in ticket prices. They should have been better prepared to handle the situation, they should have called me first to explain the situation, and they definitely should not have been rude over the phone. Horrible experienceEDIT in reply:You say you offered a fair resolution, when I am the one who had to call to even bring up the possibility of a refund. If I hadnt called, whos to say you would have even done anything? None of this excuses your rude behavior over the phone. Thanks.

I had the pleasure of doing a ride along with Pilot Tex who was exceptional in every way! Our flight was smooth, adventurous and he will push things as far as you ask him to; I encourage you to test your own boundaries! His narration was both informative and amusing but I should also note that I felt completely at ease and safe throughout the experience. I would encourage all who commit to strongly consider doubling the flight time which comes at a reasonable cost relative to the experience; sadly I only found out about this option upon our return. The Air Combat Experience was one of the highlights of our visit our visit to San Diego and I encourage all who are considering this to pull the trigger!I will add that I use a wheelchair which Tex was more than happy to accommodate and my impressions were that he will go out of his way to support and accommodate all who come to fly with him. Wheels up to Tex!

Time of my life! we started off flying out over the beaches, around Point Loma, and over the San Diego harbor. Incredible scenery!I had the Top Gun flight which meant I was able to fly the plane. We went and cranked out some barrel rolls, hammerheads, tail slides, spins, and finished the trip with a low-level bombing run.Amazing experience and excellent staff at Sky Combat Ace. Thank you, Peter and Tiffany, for an unforgettable day!

I like roller coasters and other thrill rides but I do not care for rides that spin so prior to my flight I was a little nervous about getting airsick. In preparation, I ate a light breakfast, ginger tea and had a motion sickness pill. After arriving at the facility, we were given a debriefing on the aircraft, safety measures and the range of stunts that we were about to experience. Then it was time to fly and I hopped in the plane around 12pm.The takeoff was exhilarating! Flying alongside my two friends in the air and talking to them over the intercom was so incredible it was almost like I was dreaming! After watching my buddy do a barrel roll up over our aircraft my pilot, Smokey, told me it was our turn. We did the barrel roll and the loop and I even got to fly the plane myself before my stomach started to feel upset. I let my pilot know and he was happy to take it easy.Unfortunately all my careful preparation did not help as I did end up having to use the airsick bag. All was not lost though as I had a front row seat to watch my friends perform their crazy acrobatic maneuvers and then some air to air combat! It is amazing to see what those planes can do in the air!This was unlike any ride I have ever been on and I tell everyone I can about how exciting it was to experience something like this. Even though I got queasy I would totally go again, that is how awesome it was! I got to fly an aerobatic plane!!!

Not only did I get the opportunity to go up and experience acrobatics, I got to fly!!!!! My pilot was Diesel and he was beyond awesome! He was very thorough in explaining the details of what we were going to do up in the air but also very fun and made me feel at ease. Great guy and a great company!!!!! YOU NEED TO DO THIS!!!!!

Sky Combat Aces Top Gun experience is Awesome! The pilots are all very professional and incredibly friendly. They made sure I was feeling comfortable all the way through and gave me all the instructions that I needed to be able to do a barrel roll and some other tricks on my own (they tell you how to do it, you take the stick and do it). The feel of ascending and descending was incredible. It really hits right in the stomach whether youre going up, down, left or right! My experience was great and it will definitely be an experience I remember for the rest of my life. Thanks SCA! 10/10 would do again.

BEST. EXPERIENCE. EVER. Tiffany and the team at SCA were an absolute joy to work with and provided me and my group of 15 with an experience we will never forget!As the coordinator of our group incentive, I was tasked with finding an exciting and motivating experience for our sales teams to achieve. After doing some research online and seeing the great reviews from their Vegas and San Diego locations, I was convinced SCA would provide the perfect activity, and my expectations were still blown away!Tiffany helped coordinate every moment of our day, from catering the lunch, to drafting the itinerary, to providing games on site for pilot downtime! Each of us experienced the TOP GUN package (plus some add-ons) which afforded us 30+ minutes of flight time filled with epic dogfights, ridiculous acrobatics and a low level bombing run! It was AMAZING! And, when we werent in the air, there was plenty of stuff to do in the hanger (which is also AWESOME!). We enjoyed the movie TOP GUN on repeat, watched GoPro footage from the flights and munched on the snacks and drinks provided by SCA.THE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE WAS INSANE!!! Its no joke when they say, you fly the plane! I highly recommend this experience for everyone. The pilots are absolute pros, which helped put our nerves at ease. Tex, the founder and owner, was there to fly us around, as well. Tex and the other pilots have a TON of experience and they are absolute aerial magicians. They had us flying the plane like pros in minutes and then took over to pull off aerial stunts Id only ever seen on TV or at the airshows! The G forces that these planes pull is stupid... just think, right now reading this you are experiencing 1 G... on a roller coaster you maybe get to 4 Gs?... I HIT 8Gs and passed out... it was EPIC!Bottom line, you have not lived until youve experienced Sky Combat Ace. Ive been skydiving, base jumping, etc. I can confidently say, this is one of the coolest experiences Ive ever had. In fact, Im pursuing my pilots license now thanks to my experience. My friends are all jealous and impressed, and I can’t stop showing everyone the pictures and videos of me flying!!

Top Notch Service. Incredible flying experience. We will absolutely go again.
