Fighter Pilot A4 Skyhawk (m/f/d) Fulltime

Top Aces is the world-leading company for contracted air-to-air target simulation (ADAIR) and the training of JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) crews. Founded in 2000 by former air force pilots who recognized a significant need to improve armed forces training, Top Aces today can point to an impeccable safety record of over 140,000 accident-free flight hours.

Our mission — training and preparing future generations of military leaders — is carried out together with our subsidiaries Top Aces Corp. and Blue Air Training Corp. We support NATO and allied nations including Canada, the USA, Australia, Germany and other European countries.

Our operations-focused training not only increases forces' operational readiness through realistic scenarios but also extends the lifecycle of squadron fleets and contributes to significant cost savings.
