Mobile Aviation Museum platform,: Reaching visitors with Charitable FREE Days as well as Air Show and Event Attraction.
There is nothing in the world that can match the experience of piloting a fighter jet. So few people receive the opportunity to fly these magnificent machines; most of us can only dream of the experience. Consider what it would mean to merely sit in the cockpit of a fighter. Then imagine getting into a flight suit, putting on a helmet, adjusting your oxygen mask, getting strapped into an ejection seat and holding the controls. Smell the fuel and oil that past pilots have smelled as they prepared for a mission. Place yourself in their time and space. No conventional aviation museum exists today where you can touch, let alone sit in, the cockpit of a fighter jet and experience this unique aviator feeling. Creating a memory lasting a lifetime. DreamBIG is about to change this..
For several years, I have searched for restored American fighter jet cockpits. These aircraft speak to the glory of American aviation ingenuity through elements of what is today known as "S.T.E.M." While also recalling the history of war, including Korea, Vietnam and the First Gulf War and peacetime service, such as the transport of supplies for humanitarian aid missions. There are now less than a handful of restored fighter jet cockpits in private hands anywhere in the world. Most retired jets end up cannibalized for parts and then shredded for recycling of their valuable metals.
In 2010, our goal was to “re-commission” an aircraft to share the excitement of a Fighter Jet Pilot and engage the public by telling the stories that make up our history. In doing so, we'd also provide a new venue for national advertisers and sponsors that has no equal in reaching consumer attention.
TODAY, Our Goal has increased. Today it's something deeper yet just as important and close to heart. To simply SHARE. Share the History of Aviation! Share the opportunity to experience it first hand, and to share my Faith which has allowed the DREAM in DreamBIG to take flight; one visit at a time.
2020 was the 10 YEAR ANNIVERSERY OF DREAMBIG! Over the last 14 years our main Aircraft ground attraction has been the A-7 Corsair II. In 2017, I released a F-101 voodoo cockpit. I set the -101 up as a F-14 TOPGUN Tomcat tribute for a casino’s special event. After that event, I knew we had to locate the perfect Navy air frame which could be used as an authentic TOPGUN Experience. I began to track a couple of decommissioned Naval cockpits that were in Private hands. One of those was an A-4 Skyhawk cockpit section. Viper and Jester had used the A-4 in the Original Top Gun movie. We began to prep for the addition to the DreamBIG Squadron of Touring Ground Attractions. During this process, It was announced that TOPGUN II “MAVERICK” would be filmed. Putting the A-4 Top Gun project on hold, I immediately reached out to a friend who was in possession of a F-18 Hornet cockpit section. In late 2019, we came to terms on an agreement which would allow DreamBIG to take possession and transform the F-18 cockpit section into the TOPGUN MAVERICK F-18 Hornet Experience. The Goal would be to bring the F-18 cockpit to life as a fully interactive event ground attraction and museum piece. We then reached out to Paramount and Tom Cruise’s publicist team to inform them of our intention to reproduce the Maverick F-18. The first step was to transport the cockpit to our Trailer manufacturer. We then transformed the cockpit’s display cart to a permanently mounted F-18 trailer. Next included locating and procuring hard to find instrumentation to complete population of the museum level cockpit. From there an event boarding system was created to allow for visitors to safely and easily gain access into and out of the cockpit. Then FINALLY, the package was completed by the addition of the custom paint and graphics that bring the DREAMBIG “TOPGUN MAVERICK EXPERIENCE” to life!
DreamBIG has invested countless hours in the locating, procurement, restoration and presentation of the DREAMBIG TOPGUN EXPERIENCEMAVERICK F/A-18 HORNET. The financial investment is immeasurable based upon the time, sponsorship dollars and in-kind donations to restore and create the Top Gun Experience. On top of that, the cockpit itself is priceless due to the fact that there are virtually no authentic F/A-18’s in private hands.
The hardest part in the entire process has proven to be in locating the actual history of this veteran of the skies Most of the history of modern fighter aircraft is often classified information. However, I have been able to find out a small portion of her History. As I am writing this, more information has been located and has yet to be confirmed. What I can say is that this particular cockpit section was used in the development of the F/A-18 SUPER HORNET. It was stricken off after a hard landing incident. The remaining cockpit was then used for testing and development. It was then obtained by a private individual for Display at the Tennesse Aviation Museum and then the Florida Air Museum. DreamBIG took possession in January of 2020. DreamBIG ENTERTAINMENT LLC is DOD and US NAVAL Trademark Licensed to display and show decommissioned and demilitarized modern military aircraft with Naval markings.
Our Goal in creating the DreamBIG TOPGUN MAVERICK F/A-18 Experience remains the same as it was when I began in 2010; to Inspire, Educate, and Motivate visitors with a hands-on and guided opportunity to experience the F/A-18 HORNET with the FULL TOPGUN EXPERIENCE.
The DreamBIG F/A-18 Hornet and A-7 Corsair II cockpits tour the United States as a Mobile Interactive Aviation Museum. The experience can be brought anywhere! The DreamBIG Tour season runs from February to November annually. At a time when getting the attention of the average consumer requires unconventional thinking, DreamBIG creates a national buzz one local market at a time while effectively providing memories and smiles to each visitor.

There is nothing more fulfilling than lifting the spirits of a child. Children of All ages: from 2 to 102, Our DreamBIG "CrossHEIRs" Air Show and Community Appearance Program brings the experience of sitting and Dreaming in a real fighter jet cockpit to children of all ages throughout the United States. From corporate events to private parties and public affairs, We also run FREE Days for children in hospitals, schools, and Children's homes. The service is free to the Community Giveback. A love of all things aviation has led us to create a fighter jet to share the thrill of flight with kids - young and old. The child in all of us wants to climb in and see what jet pilots - our real heroes - experience. For the visiting public, this short time away from reality can have a stunning impact on their spirits and, therefore creating long lasting memory of joy associated with the event sponsor. Most people do not travel to theme parks or other mind- and spirit-stimulating places. CrossHEIRs can let them "fly" wherever their imaginations take them simply by climbing into our cockpit and taking control of their destiny. When they land, the memory of the Dream will stay with them forever in the form of a custom-made flight suit with colorful squadron patches and even their own personalized name tag. Each visitor can be issued a replica flight suit (and, in some cases, a helmet as well) personalized for the child and branded by a sponsoring company. CrossHEIRs provides an uplifting experience to kids most in need of a boost in spirits. We leave them and their family renewed and rejuvenated. These events can be coordinated for any location across the country and provide both national and local media coverage for each sponsor. Events are scalable for ANY number of visitors with the addition of multiple cockpits. Children and other attendees can tour a small exhibit featured with each Mobile Museum to explore aviation history and learn the story of the our jet cockpit. Healthcare providers, drug companies, medical-related products, retailers, service providers and national consumer brands find sponsorship of this program an excellent public relations opportunity to integrate into their marketing plan.
At Events, we offer Photo memory opportunities. Creating a lasting memory of the in Cockpit Aviation and interactive experience. Each photo includes a custom memory photo sleeve. Each photo creates an illusion that he/she is the actual fighter pilot. Once again each visitor can dress as a real Fighter Pilot complete with flight suit or jacket and Flight helmet and harness.

SUPERSONIC Media:
Mobile Aviation Platform that creates a lasting impression!
Outdoor (or as the industry calls it, "out of home") advertising is an ideal way to reach people in their daily routine. It is a medium that is everywhere and can be used effectively to get people's attention and create brand awareness where none existed before. It can reach larger audiences, and, as people spend longer periods away from home while traveling and commuting, it can be far more effective than TV, radio, print or traditional billboards. Our new, non-traditional methods engage an audience like no other media.
SUPERSONIC Media takes the target marketing capabilities of mobile billboards and adds an experience for consumers to achieve the ultimate viewer captivation. It is a new, non-traditional outdoor medium that has no competition. We can capture the consumer's attention and engage them one-on-one with an advertising message that has proven to provide a positive reaction. Our unique delivery of this message literally stops traffic and brings the local media swarming to cover this eye catching platform. The SUPERSONIC Media program features a trailer-mounted, fully-restored A-7D Corsair II and F-101/F-14 cockpits that draw the attention of the public wherever it travels. Imagine the cockpit of a fighter jet traveling down Main Street in “Any town”, USA, stopping traffic. Much like mobile billboards, advertisers can brand the cockpit with signage or graphic wrap. Unlike traditional mobile billboards, SUPERSONIC Media creates a surprising and highly visible advertising space generating unprecedented publicity, therefore providing advertisers with an unparalleled opportunity that can be customized to their advertising requirements. In addition to on-the-road mobile advertising campaigns, the SUPERSONIC Media Mobile Museum cockpit can be hired for special appearances at large retailer mega store openings, air shows, theme parks, political campaigns, conventions and Armed Forces recruiting units, Birthday parties and private and or public celebrations. The types of events and locations for this program are almost limitless. Sponsors and advertisers can use the excitement of a traveling exhibit for product give-aways, celebrity appearances and other creative promotions.
We have several Mobile Museum platforms currently available for engagements. We can deliver an advertiser's message to the best locations in the Continental U.S.
Media Integration
The SUPERSONIC Media experience can be combined with other ad media - radio, TV and print - in ways that traditional outdoor advertising cannot. It is an alternative media experience that can be reinforced in any market with a combined media strategy. As a specialty outdoor media company, we will advise how SUPERSONIC Media can be leveraged with an advertiser's existing media campaign or we can help develop a campaign with SUPERSONIC Media at the center of a media strategy.
Aviation in general, and fighter jets in particular, fascinate people of any age. For hard-to-sell teens and young adults, SUPERSONIC Media fits their preference for multi-sensory and experiential messages. The philosophy behind SUPERSONIC Media resonates with all ages. The sense of community created around the appearance of an Authentic Fighter Jet Museum will engage both young adults and the baby-boomer generation. For boomers, the experience will evoke stories of history and heroes and, for some, personal memories.
