Gain a real insight into what life is like as a fighter jet pilot with this simulator experience based in Stalybridge, Cheshire. It’s not often you get to live in the shoes of a fighter pilot, and this experience is as close as you can get. Sitting in a ex-Romanian Air Force Delfin 29 cockpit, you will be shown your way through the controls as you get comfortable in the sim, and the full face fighter pilot helmet and flight suit you will have been given to wear throughout the duration of this experience. It won’t take long before you are acquainted with everything, but also, appreciating the history of this aircraft that was in active use until the late 1980s. With an impressive array of HD graphics to complete your flight experience, you’ll soon feel like you’re soaring through the skies at great speeds and forget all about being inside a simulator. Because we want this experience to be as realistic as possible, you won’t only be learning how to use the controls of this fighter jet, but involved in all the pilot duties pre flight, making for an all encompassing experience. For lovers of military aviation history or film buffs who have a love for the film, Topgun, this would be the perfect experience all round.
