=S= All!
Imagine yourself scanning the skies in a real military aircraft in search of an enemy airplane. You spot the bogey at 3 o'clock, break turn hard and the fight's on. Up, down, and around. Pulling G's, making quick decisions until you out maneuver your opponent, put the gunsight pipper on them, squeeze the trigger and guns, guns, guns! The enemy erupts in smoke and you roll up and away, Victorious!
We've simulated in IL-2 1946 flight simulator and prepared ourselves for such an opportunity, (I knew there was something like this out there).

The very closest thing we get to SNA's naval training. :D

When I save the money for such a thing, I'm in!

Looks like Air Combat USA. I remember watching a history channel UFO Hunters epidsode where they went there to test some theories. My god, I never heard so many idiots talking at once. Terminology was wrong, the understanding of aircraft was off, and I was ashamed that those Air Combat guys played right into it. Sad considering that their hangar was just down from mine and I strolled over there a few times to say hi.

Those UFO shows are full of more shit than a pigshit farm. (In a redneck southern accent while partially inebriated) "I SAW THAT THEM THERE ALIEN WITH THEM MEAN LOOKIN RED EYES STARIN DOWN MY SOUL AT THE JESUS IN MY HEART."

Oh its a crap load of fun. Cost a pretty penny, but if you have the doh, why not? I tell you what, I would like to see those guys that fly Las and Spits yank those sticks in real life. I tell you pulling positive and negative Gs in succession if they didn't puke on themselves, they would of G-LOC right away and find themselves in the ground. Not only that, I hope you have good endurance, just flying the simulator with a G-suit is tiring.
