Ian Connell
Absolutely brilliant. I was really glad that the instructor was by my side, which made the experience very enjoyable and made me feel that I was actually achieving the take offs and landing. So impressed I'm going to book one in the New Year. The instructor was top notch and had that experienced pilot wicked sense of humour. Bit disappointed he wouldn't let me bomb my old RAF Station :).

Had an amazing time here. If you love jets the location is spot on and you can double up the trip by visiting the local bases for some live action. The instruction was excellent and the sim was incredibly accurate. Would definitely recommend for the ‘plane enthusiast.
Alan Kingsman
I was impressed by the way the experience was presented and enjoyed it very much. However, having flown in a real F15E simulator I was a little disappointed to have the instructor standing beside me pointing at the screen. I did think that it would have made the experience more interesting and exciting to have a closed canopy and without the instructor standing in sight.
Overall I did enjoy it, and would recommend it.
Stig
Highly recommended, had a great time, Kenneth was very knowledgeable and patient, still crash landed on the final landing though!
Oh if you want any pictures take someone with you; there is no way you can be flying the plane and take pics at the same time!
Louise Briggs
