A: It depends on the Shooting Tour Package you choose. The Whiskey Tango package includes flying on an A-Star Gunship aircraft and seats a maximum of 5 passengers total (including Pilot and Aerial Range Safety Officer). This aircraft is unlike any other, as it’s camouflaged to match the desert terrain and has a custom gun mount designed especially for the M249 SAW. The mount gives the shooter additional support and complete flexibility to maneuver the firearm in a safe down-range position to aid with accuracy when securing the target and then pulling the trigger each time.
