DEMONSTRATION /
ORIENTATION FLIGHTS |
Imagine the thrill of flying a real Fighter Jet Trainer!
EBAS orientation/demo flights offer all the thrill of a true
Top Gun experience with the safety margin and comfort of
being with a REAL Eastern Bloc Fighter Pilot with over 6000
hours of flying experience. Steve Kalmar was not only a
fighter pilot, but a fighter pilot INSTRUCTOR who taught new
fighter pilots how to make these planes dance! Want to try
your hand at the stick? The L-39 Albatross happens to be one
of the easiest jets to fly and offers the classic “fighter
pilot” view through the large clear canopies. Nothing makes
jaws drop faster than talking about flying a Fighter Jet.
With a current medical, you can log time and attain an L-39
type rating from an FAA approved check pilot.
Invite your family and friends to share in the excitement
and once-in-a-lifetime experience of these exciting Demo
Flights! A viewing area is located next to the runway where
onlookers can take photographs of your take-off and landing.

What Pilots say
about EBAS Demo Flights: |
|
James P. flies a 172, but like most pilots, he wanted to
feel the “fighter pilot” experience.
After a cockpit safety briefing,
they hit the sky and here are his comments:
"I’ve done aerobatics in the past but I never imagined the
G-forces would be so dramatic at higher speeds. It handled
fantastic. Light on the stick and very responsive"
James P.

Dave Pierson
Ex-Air Force Pilot who currently flies a T-34 mentor.
"As a former US WWII military fighter pilot, I can tell
you that feeling the thrust of the L-39 is something that I
will never forget."

Joe Denk
“Thank you very much for the most incredible
experience of my life! Until I considered buying one, I
never thought in a million years taht I would fly a MIG
fighter jet. Of all the warbirds out there, the L-39
is definitely the most fun for the money. You're the
best Rocket Man!“

Ramona aka Skychick flies the L-39
“With adventure as my middle name, flying a
military jet was a MUST on my To-Do list. Despite 20 years
of flying, THAT was an epic experience which I’ll never
forget!”

What
NON-PILOTS say about EBAS Demo Flights |
“I always wanted to fly in a really fast
jet and decided that my 65th birthday was the perfect
occasion! I thought I would be scared, but I loved it and
always felt perfectly safe even when we were doing rolls and
flying upside down! Thanks Steve for the thrill of a
lifetime.”
-Anna F.
- Anna's two daughters came down to photograph and
congratulate their mom on a successful flight. Anna's
flight had been donated by EBAS to a local charity and
her winning bid made both Anna, and her charity, VERY
happy!

flights.)

The L-39 combines the visual appeal of a Jet Warbird with
the easy handling characteristics of a primary trainer. A
series of complex back-up systems offer added safety for
pilot and co-pilot. It’s currently used as a Russian trainer
and as a Light-Weapons Fighter in several countries.
