Just Fabulous
Took my 80+ dad for an hour experience. We were blown away by the simulator, topping it was the very friendly, enthusiastic and welcoming pilot Angus. He was such an interesting guy, well worth our money just to meet him, though the simulator steals the show. Can recommend the chocks away diner & cafe whilst your there, great food at lunch time

Really good experience
Really good experience, instructed was fantastic, he totaly trailers the 2 hours me and a friend had on the sim.
This really is about as close to the real thing you can get without paying thousands
FYI the sim is located in the same building as the chocks away cafe. So get there a bit earlier as the food is really good.

Fabulous experience
My son(18yrs) had a 30 min experience on the flight simulator that he was given as a present and he enjoyed every second of it. The pilot instructor was welcoming, friendly and so knowledgeable. His explanations and instructions were fantastic and made it relaxing and so rewarding. The simulator was so real, it is what is used for pilot training. Well worth having a go.

As my son wall well versed and full of knowledge regarding the 737, Angus the instructor completely embraced that and worked with him at his level, including adding a slight incident that could happen during mid-flight. Zach is VERY eager to come back to do the 2 hour session and would very much like it to be with Angus again ( :
It’s definitely worth the money!!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A very engaging simulator brilliantly explained to my 14 yr old daughter whom was flying by our very able and friendly instructor. Took a little running around and asking questions to find the location though. It would be helpful to email some guidance out after booking. Overall though, a great visit and one I’ll repeat because Dad wants a go this time.
