Fly a MiG Over Moscow or a Fighter Jet Over LA Without a Pilot's License

If you watched Top Gun and longed to be hot-headed pilot Maverick, kicking ass in the skies, then get your jumpsuit ready. Incredible Adventures will not only set you up with a fighter jet, but the company will film your short escapade and you can help write a script.

You get to choose whether you want to do rolls and loops in your L-39 over L.A. or San Diego, which cost $2,950, or Vegas, which is $4,950. It's the same plane that was used in Jarhead, a film that Incredible Adventures helped make. For some additional dough, you can add a paparazzo or an enemy cameo to your story.

Don't worry about not having any prior flight experience. Incredible Adventures says that the L-39 is a jet trainer that was designed so it could easily be flown by student fighter pilots. Plus, an expert pilot will accompany you and can put his hands on the controls at the same time you do, helping to guide you through maneuvers. But it won't quash your cool factor; on camera, it'll look like you're the one flying.

But if you aren't in this for the glory, you can forget the movie portion and just learn how to fly. The company offers L-39 flying lessons in Florida, Prague, Germany, Russia and Switzerland. There are also options to fly Russian-made MiG-29s or MiG-31s over Moscow.

You may not be eligible to fly if you're taller than 6�6� or heavier than 250 pounds. And you can't have any known heart problems or medical conditions that may be aggravated by g-forces. Singing "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" is optional.
