Fly 60,000 feet high in the legendary English Electric Lightning aircraft. The supersonic British fighter can go to very high altitudes. It's mini Edge of Space flight with a high speed.

Cape Town offers Jet Fighter Flights surrounded by truly gorgeous scenery:

• Go up in an English Electric Lightning;
• Fly above the Ocean at just under the speed of sound in a versatile Buccaneer;
• Perform aerobatics in the veteran Hawker Hunter.

The English Electric Lightning is a supersonic fighter jet, with two engines and two seats (side-by-side). It is a record-holding aircraft, famous for its vertical climb performance. The Lightning can reach a maximum speed of Mach 2.2 and an initial climb rate of 50,000 ft/min.
The British Aerospace Buccaneer was used as a low-level and high-speed attack craft. It is equipped with 2 Rolls Royce Spey non-afterburning bypass turbofans. The aircraft performs just below the speed of sound at zero altitude – totally awesome!
The Hawker Hunter is used as a pilots' training aircraft and was originally designed as a superior jet fighter.

This fighter jet performs air-to-ground attacks and reconnaissance flights.
Flight in a Hawker Hunter allows you to experience high "G" adrenalin performance.
