Wannabe pilots, ages nine to 99, can try air combat. It's the real thing, not
a simulator. Amateur "aces" fly in the front seat of T-34A Mentor aircraft while
an air combat instructor supervises from the rear seat. Aircraft feature
infrared laser gun systems, gun sights, threat-detection/warning systems, and a
four-camera video recording system. Video of the "mission" included. Flight
experience not required; must be at least 4 feet, 8 inches tall to fly.
Reservations required. D.W. Hooks Airport, 8319 Thora Lane No. A-5. 281/379-ACES
