So how do you properly celebrate the passing of a century of living? Why, with a family dog fight, naturally! Brother-in-laws Jim Simons and Tom Jagow celebrated their 50th birthdays together. It turns out that they both had the same need…”The Need For Speed”! It is hard to get much faster than over 700 miles per hour anywhere but in an F-16 fighter jet. The only problem is that it is usually very hard to convince the Air Force to let you borrow a couple of them for a short spin around the block. The next best option?
Start your birthday celebration at Flightdeck Air Combat Center in Anaheim, where up to seven people can enjoy the experience of being fighter pilots together in authentic flight simulators. And this is exactly what Jim, Tom, and 5 other family members did. While their 50 years of life weren’t lived virtually, their dog fight at 10,000 feet (Angels 10) was. When the dog fight was over, the festivities continued at Joe’s Crab Shack where the birthday boys pilots were properly fed, fetted, and humiliated!
