After seeing movies such as Top Gun or watching nail biting documentaries about real life dog fights, most wish deep in their hearts that they too could have the opportunity to take on the open skies. Not just in a commercial plane or small aircraft, but in a fighter jet, cutting through the skies at break-neck speeds. Unfortunately, the closest anyone ever comes to realizing these dreams is to watch an air show or walk through an aviation museum. But there is one place that can make those dreams come true, that places the life of a fighter jet pilot within reach of everyone, and that is at Thunder City.
