Santa Fe Top Gun does not assess business success by any traditional measure. Rather, our bottom line is fun, both providing, and having it. Our SNJ/T-6 warbird adventure flights are little more than a really good excuse for a couple of ex-navy fighter guys to relive some of their naval aviation experiences from the cockpit of one of the coolest aircraft flying today, and to share that experience with customers who, like us, are willing to trade some hard earned money for the kind of experience that makes our lives as humans the incredible journey that it is.
The SNJ, and its twin, the T-6 Texan, trained for combat during WWII and Korea every U.S. military pilot, and many allied. It is arguably the most influential aircraft in military aviation history. Your Santa Fe Top Gun warbird ride is in a beautifully restored, meticulously maintained aircraft, operated with the skill, highest regard for safety, and uncompromising attention to detail instilled in SFTG’s pilots by the U.S. Navy. Today our venerable aircraft, which prepared so many navy pilots for carrier operations and aerial combat, stands ready to help prepare you for your daily challenges.
At SFTG you fly (we help), no experience required. Your Top Gun adventure will be a self revealing, horizon expanding endeavor, customized to your aeronautical aptitude, appetite for thrill, and need for control. You set the skill, and thrill level. Whether you seek our softer side, to gently nurture you through first flight apprehension, or you are a seasoned aviator seeking an elevated challenge, the SFTG experience has something for you. Both our customized navy style mission briefing and the flight, incorporate age and experience specific instruction. With our tender tutelage, first time pilots and kids as young as ten fly confidently and often perform textbook loops and rolls. If we succeed in our purpose, you will realize a greatly expanded threshold of both fun and accomplishment, and be one step closer to Mazlow’s “self actualization”.
And, oh yea, I almost forgot to mention that in addition to our unique brand of nostalgia, a thrill few will ever know, and a genuine sense of fulfillment that most only derive from video games, Santa Fe Top Gun provides, quite by default, a spectacular aerial sightseeing tour. So what better way to see northern New Mexico’s incredible geology, culture, and often wildlife, including the rugged Rio Grande gorge, ancient Anasazi cliff dwellings, tent rock formations, Jemez and Sangre de Christo mountains, and the awe inspiring Valle Grande volcanic crater, than from the sky, and through a clear and unobstructed 1945 SNJ canopy, or if you slide it forward, no canopy at all! It’s the best seat in the house! And at Santa Fe Top Gun, you only pay for an awesome aerial adventure; the unparalleled Santa Fe New Mexico scenery is on us!
