Overview

Based in West Sussex, we operate aircraft flight simulators as training devices and for the public to enjoy as entertainment packages. Established in 2006 we are the original flight simulator centre, and mostly use real retired aircraft which are transformed into flight simulators for aviation enthusiasts to enjoy. We have both piston and jet type fixed based simulators including the world's most popular commercial jet, the Boeing 737, a twin engine light aircraft Piper Seneca PA34 and our latest simulators, two Euro-fighter Typhoons, which can be flown together in real time! Our flight experiences can be tailored to the individual so are great for complete novices as well as people who may have had some flying lessons. They are suitable for all the family aged 10 and above, so whether you are looking for something new to do yourself or a special gift for someone, we have it all.

Excellent session, can't fault any of it, great value for money

I booked this as a birthday present for my wife. She has done most types of flight experience (glider/light plane/balloon/microlite/helicopter), so I thought she would enjoy this. She was highly impressed. She did the Boeing 737 experience. The simulator is in the truncated front end...More
