Indoor SkyDiving in Los Angeles

Jan 9

Posted by Mr K in Flight Simulators, Flying Lessons, Gift Ideas, Indoor Skydiving, Themeparks | No Comments

I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun this was. From the time we arrived until the very moment we left we seriously had a blast. Indoor skydiving is exactly that, skydiving inside. You get the same feeling of skydiving, except you aren’t jumping out of a plane. Instead, you are in a large tube with a huge fan on the bottom, otherwise known as a wind tunnel. There are several in California, but we went to the one in Hollywood.

After providing our e-ticket we were escorted into a room where Matt, our instructor, gave us the techniques we needed to know about skydiving in about 15 minutes. We then watched a 10 minute video that shows you live examples of how to do what you are about to experience. Once the video ended Matt took us to a locker room where we got into our flying gear; the suit, helmet, goggles, and ear plugs. They even had shoes and sox if we needed them. There are lockers to store your belongings, and you definitely want to use them or you will loose it in the wind tunnel.

We were now ready to do our activity. I went first! You walk up to the entry of the wind tunnel and you can feel the energy. It is extremely powerful. Cross your arms against your chest and just fall forward. The wind immediately picks you up and like magic, you are flying on the spot. There are techniques you can use to maneuver yourself around the tunnel. For example, if you extend your arms and legs, you rise up to the top, if you bring them in towards your body, you drop down. If you slightly tilt both of your hands to the right or left, you turn in that direction.

The instructor is always in the tunnel with you, so you really have nothing to worry about. If you are comfortable in the tunnel, they will take you to the top and bring you down several times and spin you around. I highly recommend everyone try this out sooner than later. It is just an amazing experience that can’t be missed.

There are several different packages that can be purchased, and they are listed below.

First time Flyer Packages

Single Flight – $39.95 – 1 minute flight
Double Flight – $59.95 – two 1 minute flights
Quad Flight – $99.95 – four 1 minute flights
Family Package (up to 5 flyers) – $239.95 – ten 1 minute flights

Experienced Flyer Packages

10 Minute Flight - $195
20 Minute Flight – $375
40 Minute Flight – $675
60 Minute Flight – $975

Party Flyer Packages

Standard Party Package - $429.95 – 16 flights for up to 8 flyers
Ultimate Party Package – $1199.97 – 48 flights for up to 24 flyers

I don’t recommend doing the 1 minute flight, as you will definitely want more. Get ready for one of the best activities you will ever experience. Indoor Skydiving in Los Angeles is also a great idea for a gift.

Military Flight Simulator – A Dogfight & Landings

Apr 28

Posted by Mr K in Blabber, Flight Simulators, Flying Lessons | No Comments

On Saturday, Heather and I went to our Military Flight Simulator activity in Southern California. First of all, when I left my house it was nearly 100 degrees. HOT AS CAN BE. So I was happy we were going to be inside in an air conditioned room.

When you first walk in to the location, there is a mural with a totally cool jet scene and three jet fighter seats. Take a look:

The mural:

The Jet Fighter Seats:

Heather sitting on the Jet Fighter Seat:

Our activity started at around 12:15pm. We walked to the back room and got into our flight suite. It was totally TOP GUN!

Heather and I in our suites:

After we were suited up, we were brought into a class room to learn everything we needed to know about flying a jet fighter plane. All I remember the teacher telling us is that we had a throttle, a button to load our missiles, a button to launch the missile, a button to shoot bullets (that are basically harmless unless you are 2 feet away, and ready to crash into, the other jet fighter), and a button to speak to our assistant back in the control center.

Learning how to fly:

Great, now that we know exactly how to fly a jet fighter (yeah, sure we do!), we are ready to jump into the cockpit of our Jet Fighters! It was so cool to jump in and really feel what it’s like to sit inside such a small area with complete control of this huge piece of machinery that can fly faster that the speed of sound. After I sit down, I hold on to the throttle on my left (which also has a button that works just like the Nextel/Sprint Push-to-Talk feature whenever you have something to say) and what looks exactly like an Atari joystick on the right. There is someone there to walk you through every step of the way as many times as needed to make sure you have a great time. While you are flying, back in the control deck, someone is on the headphones talking you through any problems or questions (they also give you more missiles when you run out, so don’t be shy, and ask for more!).

The Joystick:

Check out the Missiles:

If there are guests that are not going to be flying, there is a great area right outside with 8 screens for the visitors to see all the action while it takes place (see below). There are also some simple rules, which are listed on the photo below, but no big deal.

Waiting Room:

The Rules:

This is really an amazingly fun activity that does not cost very much. You will not regret doing it! Oh yeah, and before I forget… Guess who won the dogfight?

A perfect day in the clouds down by the beach?

Apr 25

Posted by Mr K in Blabber, Flight Simulators | No Comments

Heading to Laguna Beach

It’s nice when I leave my house in the morning to head to work and there is not a cloud in the sky and 65-70 degrees. A PERFECT DAY! So, a few days ago I am heading down to Laguna Beach (where our office is) and all of a sudden, as I drove down Newport Coast, it seemed as if I was driving straight down into the clouds. Seriously, it looked so weird. Take a look…

Laguna Beach in the Clouds

After about 2 hours, the clouds were gone and we were back to a perfect day. Weather Rules!

Anyway, this weekend we are going to try out the Authentic Military Flight Simulators in Anaheim… Will most definitely take some pictures and video and do a write-up on it.
