Flight Simulator Experiences

Experience the thrills of flying a plane without leaving the ground with a flight simulator experience. Flight simulators are the training grounds of professional pilots. Budding aviators get time at the helm of an aircraft in complete safety, with lifelike motion, feedback and controls creating true immersion.

Flying simulator experiences create amazing memories and make the perfect gifts for a variety of occasions. Leave a lasting mark on a plane enthusiast's 50th birthday, or commemorate someone's sweet 16th in style.

What's Included with a Flight Simulator Experience?

A flight simulator session is the best way to take command of a plane without being in the air. There's none of the danger, but all of the excitement. An expert tutor sits with amateur aviators, offering full training on how to operate the controls. They actually feel like the real thing. Amazing HD screens, motion displays and live weather conditions work to create a truly immersive environment. Real plane parts and a vibrating deck only add to the realism.

Spitfire Simulator Experiences

Find out what it's like to fly a Spitfire, a world-famous model. Historians and flying enthusiasts alike are bound to get butterflies when piloting one of these iconic RAF models. Hop inside a replica plane and enjoy the amazing HD graphics and immersive surround-sound system. Functioning gauges and controls add further realism to the flight. After being taught the basics, explorers take off, fly and land. Start off at a World War Two airfield in either the UK or France and zip through the sky.Dogfight sessions for two introduce explorers to aerial combat. This nail-biting experience pits two pilots against each other in the air, chasing, shooting at and evading the other plane.

Great experience - highly recommend

A brilliant way to try your hand at flying two iconic fighters of WW2. You start in the air (no pre-flight checks or take off) and after a brief introduction to each airplane you’re into air combat. The sims are immersive and you soon feel in the moment. This is no arcade ‘sim’ situation! The instructors are excellent and talk/coach as appropriate and help you get the most out of the experience. The only downside - the time in each aircraft and overall goes so quickly but that’s testament to just how engrossing it is.

Happy happy happy. Very helpful. Disappointed that you don't do single shooters for health and safety and insurance, but there would be staff present, it's not like you would be left alone with a rifle and live ammunition?

Best birthday

So I bought this for my husband and I was a bit sceptical as to how good it actually would be....well it did not disappoint at all!!! The location was easy to find, staff were fantastic, the location is small and not much to look at from the outside but who cares after the experience!!! I have none stopped told all friends and family and my husband is a man of few words but he has gone on about it all week!!! I was even tempted to book a go for myself. The staff were so welcoming and make everything so easy to understand even for a complete novice like myself when I was watching!! I highly recommend this experience and there isn't a bad thing to say, well the spectators seat is a little uncomfortable but it's expected for the room just maybe bring a cushion or place a jacket on it as it's a basic stool!! Other from that absolutely brilliant thank you for making it such an incredible day!

A frustrated pilot

Always wanted to fly but didn't make the grade to be an RAF pilot . Flown before in Cessna and micro lights so know the basics of control . This experience was something else . The sensation of fast jet flying was at times a bit nauseous as you felt the motion of the cockpit and the maneuverability of the jet fighter but when I stepped out my wife said the cockpit never moved it was static . The overall sensation was first class , I'll have to save up for another flight . The instructor was an absolute star .
