Look out though, for in the skies are the deadly Black Knights Squadron, and they want nothing more than to protect their homeland! In Fighter Pilot Lingo, "It's gonna be a big furball", so tighten your shoulder harness and adjust your helmet. This is what it's all about, one on one combat!

AIRCREW RESPONSIBILITIES:
At AVIATION CHALLENGE, we try to fly in crews of two-A Pilot in the front seat of the jet, and a Weapons System Officer behind the pilot. Both crewmembers are vital-no on e wins a battle alone. No plane flies into battle alone, either! A mission sortie cana involve up to six different aircraft. That's twelve crew memberrs going into battle, and their leader is the Flight Leader. The Flight Leader can be eitherr a pilot or a WSO of any aircraft! It is crucial to the performance of an aircrew that each member of that crew understands their duties as completely as possible. This enables betterr crew coordination and allows for more successful missions.

AREA 51- Low Ropes Type Course
(Available for Corporate SPACE CAMP @ AVIATION CHALLENGE, Huntsville, AL)

OVERVIEW: The Area 51 Leadership Reaction Course consists of siz initiatives, or reaction courses. Each course is designed to test individual leadership characteristics as well as the group's overall ability to function effectively as a team under stress-induced conditions. On-the-spot decision-making and problem solving are major components involved in the activity.

ESCAPE & EVASION (Available for Corporate SPACE CAMP & AVIATION CHALLENGE)

SURVIVAL is the name of the game-

S Size up the situation
U Undue haste makes waste
R Remember where you are
V Vanquish fear and panic
I Improvise!
V Value Living
A Act like the natives
L Learn basic skills

A positive "CAN-DO" attitude is the most important aaspect of survival, but training in some techniques is essential. At Aviation Challenge, we teach you some basics, then you get to apply them in the Escape & Evasion (E&E) exercise-your team must escape a hostile enemy under the cover of darkness!

We'll also brief you on course rules, time limits, and safety procedures. The E&E course is much shorter than it will feel-only a few hundred meters-but with hunters in the woods searching for you, it's much more difficult than it seems. It's quite difficult to get lost on the course, but if you become disoriented, we can easily find you and lead you off the course. Time limits generally do not exceed 50 minutes on the course, from the moment you're released on your own. Safety is our main concern, followed by having fun!
