Jump into an actual fighter planes and participating in adrenaline-pumped dogfights a mile above the earth. The purveyor of these fantasies is Air Combat USA, a civilian dogfighting school based in Fullerton, Calif.

Since its founding in 1988, operating an aerial circus that travels to 30 mostly smaller and mid-sized airports. For $1,400, a customer receives training, one hour of flight time (including up to seven dogfights) and a post-flight performance review, all with an instructor from Air Combat's staff--who are retired military pilots with Vietnam or Desert Storm experience. No pilot's license is needed. Participants sign a waiver similar to one for bungee-jumping.
