I'm thinking of treating myself for my 40th birthday and was searching for a "once-in-a-lifetime" experience.
I love fighter jets, so I was looking at the jet flights packages around NSW.
I'm looking for people who already done this to share their experiences. I searched the forum but could not find anything for "fighter jet" "L-39" "fighter flight".
Thanks in advance for any information

Unit cost of marriage length per Jeff Bezos' divorce settlement.
That does look fun
Does it have to be a jet? Can it be a warbird?
Also, that jet is an Albatross. For the price, you may find better value hopping a cheap commercial flight to QLD or SA.
Warbirds tend to get better mileage but obviously wont hit 900km/h. However, medical and CASA restrictions virtually wont be an issue.
This plane also comes to Woodstock flyin for flights (Townsville)
Having flown in the sister Wirraway, I can tell you that there is something magical about sitting behind a P&W engine banging along at 350km/h (especially at head height 😏)

The maximum weight is 130kg.
Will exclude most OzBargainers…
Top tip: pay the extra for an inside seat.
Ring the Chinese Embassy and see what they have planned
Those are strictly baloon rides only experiences.
I used to recommend Russia for MIGs but they're gone now. I'd fly you but my Jabiru isn't fast 😅
You could enlist and get paid to fly fighter jets, if you were 22 years younger.
I didn't know these were a thing. Now i know what u want for my next milestone birthday.
