If you can’t get enough of the billion-dollar blockbuster film 'Top Gun 2,' then there may be a new sport just for you. Jet 1 Cup is starting off its inaugural season in the Lone Star State, setting up shop at the North Texas Regional Airport in Denison.
DALLAS — If you can’t get enough of the billion-dollar blockbuster film "Top Gun 2," then there may be a new sport just for you.
It’s an idea and sport that was spearheaded by Denis Oliver, who is the CEO and founder of Jet 1 Cup. The longtime pilot has always been passionate about flying all types of planes and jets. Oliver describes this new sport as an aerial laser tag sport. For the participating pilots, they’ll have an e-gamer on the ground controlling the laser shots. “Whenever you get a shot, you’ll need to go back and land and get to your pit stop, get your fuel, ammunition and take off again,” Oliver said.
The sport will have 12 competitions, six teams, 12 pilots, 12 e-gamers and, of course, only one winner. Some of the other cities that can expect to see this competition are Los Angeles, Atlanta, Phoenix, Miami and Las Vegas.
