The In-Flight Feature is John McBain's debut solo effort released in 2006 on Brant Bjork's label Duna Records.^[1] The In-Flight Feature was the result of material accumulated over several years that McBain didn't think was suitable for his then current band the Wellwater Conspiracy. It is mainly instrumental with several songs having no vocals at all and is heavily influenced by 1970s space/progressive rock. Guest appearances include Jon Kleiman and Tim Cronin of Monster Magnet.

A Deluxe Edition of the album was released in 2008 featuring three bonus tracks.^[2]
