Most people are under the assumption that jet packs are still just a thing of the future. Well, we’re happy to inform you that the future is here and jet packs are very much a real thing. Oh, and you can experience using one for yourself right here in Nevada. A company called Jetpack America makes it easy and accessible for people of all ages to use this awesome technology. If you’re a thrill-seeker and looking for a unique activity that will earn you some serious bragging rights, you’ll definitely want to check out this incredible jet pack adventure!
Hiding in the southern town of Pahrump is a place called Spring Mountain Motor Resort and Country Club. It's been one of the town's best destinations for water recreation and family fun on their man-made lake.
Here families can relax underneath one of the resort's shady Cabanas or splash around in the turquoise blue lake. This place is truly like a Caribbean oasis in the middle of the desert. However, this is also the location of one of Nevada's most unique attractions ever.
Learning to operate a jet pack is surprisingly easy and fun. Don't worry. The flight instructors will make sure you are fully prepared before letting you fly. Most pilots are ready to fly within 5-10 minutes of trying on the jet pack.
In order to ensure your safety, guests are equipped with walkie-talkie helmets so that the flight instructor can stay in constant communication. Instructors also have control of your throttle (how high the jet pack goes) so that you can concentrate on other things—like how fun operating a jet pack is.
Every member of the family can partake in this epic activity. You have to be at least 12 years old to fly solo, but participants as young as 5 can ride tandem with someone else.
There are almost no words to describe what it's like to jet pack in the air like this. Most people who experience it describe a unique feeling of weightlessness, along with an amazing sense of freedom when it comes to moving around in the air.
Jetpack America also prides themselves on giving everyone a chance to fly, regardless of disability. Their instructors are happy to work with those who have disabilities of any sort. You don't even have to know how to swim to partake in the experience since you'll be wearing a life vest.
Thrill seekers will absolutely love this one-of-a-kind adventure. Do you know many people who can say they've actually operated a jet pack before? You can be one of the first!
