IA WORLDWIDE, INC.
LAKEWOOD RANCH, FLORIDA

Media interest in the new company was high from day one. The cold war was over but travel to Russia to fly a MiG was, and remains, a lifetime thrill that many people dream about. ) Our very first client to fly was a female investment banker from New York, followed closely by a furniture dealer from Miami. Their history-making flights were featured in an NBC story by Tom Brokaw. The ~ Jane Reifert, President of IA and one of the company's original employees News of what was going on at Zhukovsky Air Base soon reached officials at the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. MIGS etc was asked to help find customers for their IL-76 zero-gravity flights. The company's first weightless flight took place in February 1994 with a CNN reporter on board. In 1995, the company was sold to an employee-lead ownership group. Offerings were expanded to include additional cosmonaut training adventures as well as Sahara adventures in Tunisia. Feeling the "etc" in MIGS etc. just couldn't hold all the new stuff, the company was rechristened . In January of 1997, controlling interest in the company was sold to Norman Fast, a venture capitalist with experience in the adventure travel industry. Today, Incredible Adventures offers fighter jet flights in six countries, space adventures at Star City, four different great white shark dives, military adventures around the world, and much, much more. The company maintains a full-time staff in Sarasota and Moscow and a worldwide network of really incredible people ready to help fulfill your adventure dreams. When I applied for the job in 1993, I figured the company would maybe last a year but figured it'd be a fun place to work. Little did I know that 19 years later, I'd still be here and writing the title 'president' behind my name. Why have we succeeded in this wild and wacky business? Maybe it's because we don't lie. We've built our reputation by delivering everything we promise and more. We've made it our mission to deliver the most incredible adventures available at the fairest possible price.
