Step into the shoes of a military fighter jet pilot with this realistic Delfin L29 simulator session with an array of airports to land into. Before you even step foot in the sim, you’ll be dressed from head to toe with RAF equipment including a flight suit, oxygen mask and integrated intercom system. Once you clamber into the cockpit, you’ll soon realise how realistic this sim is as it’s fully equipped with all the functions of a Romanian Air Force Delfin 29 that was in active service until the 1980s. If you’re an aviation fan this is the ideal experience to explore some of that history, as the static collection boasts a wide collection consisting of a Vampire T11, a Trident flight deck and even a 1940s Link trainer aircraft. Equipped with a gift shop to provide you with memorabilia for the day, this centre in Cheshire is well worth a visit for flying enthusiasts. Simulator sessions can often be overlooked as experiences go, but they are the ideal way for people who want to learn to fly to get some flight time under their belt, all the while being in a safe and controlled environment. There’s a reason why RAF pilots do a large amount of their training in these sims, as it offers them the chance to get to grips with the controls and not be afraid to try something new. Don’t miss out on this unique simulator experience in a genuine ex-Romanian Air Force Delfin 29 cockpit.
