Fly a fighter jet - BAE Buccaneer [South Africa]

Experience some serious speed on board the British Aerospace Buccaneer. This tandem two seater aggressor is designed for low level, high speed attack. Powered by two Rolls Royce Spey non afterburning bypass turbofans, this awesome machine performs just below the speed of sound at zero altitude.

Feel the speed and the landscape evaporating in front of your eyes. Take off from the airport and scream out to sea at a speed of close to Mach – and just 50ft (15m) above the water: your ‘g’ limits and sortie profile are determined purely by your ability to handle them. Seated in the jet behind the pilot, you’ll be working with him to maximise your experience - whether it be an extreme adrenaline rush through the rugged Cape Swartland Mountains or a sortie along the dramatic Cape coast. This is one fighter jet experience you’ll never forget.
