60 minute F16 Fighter Pilot Simulator Experience
Overview
Ever dreamed of flying a fighter jet but don’t fancy the face-bending g-force? If so, this 60 Minute F16 Fighter Pilot Simulator Experience is for you. Channel your inner Maverick as you hop into the cockpit of your General Dynamics (now Lockheed Martin) F16 Block 52. Via your immersive 180 degree projector system, you’ll get a feel for what it’s really like to fly one of these world-class military jets.
You’ll be talked through the flight ahead in the briefing room, where you can sit back and relax before the mission ahead. Your fully enclosed cockpit features all the controls you’d see in an actual F16, and with a range of flight scenarios to choose from, you can get an authentic taste of what life as an F16 pilot is like.
Up to six spectators are welcome to come along, so prepare to wow friends or family with your spectacular dogfight skills.

Fabulous Flying Start
What a great Xmas present. Unfortunately due to Covid this had to be put off until, now, September. However still a great experience. Probably one I will be repeating. Its great fun. One to one tuition with no distractions due to the restrictions in place of one group in the building at a time. felt to really get the full time flying.

F16 Simulator
Absolutely loved my F16 flight sim experience, I was guided through the basics by the friendly staff and then unleashed into a dogfight! An exhilarating experience that really got the adrenaline pumping as it really does feel real and you cant help but get immersed in it!

A truly great experience.
What a great experience, we were treated with a great deal of courtesy,friendliness and in my case patience. The flying is in every way authentic, I would imagine just like the real thing. Explanation of what was going to happen is first rate, I cannot find anything to criticise in a negative way. Well worth while if you are non flying would be pilot nut like me.

Brilliant first time experience
This was the first time I'd been in a simulator, a complete novice at flying and it was a brilliant. The instructor was friendly, very patient and clear on helping me fly. My biggest fear was not getting off the ground and crashing. It could have been the longest taxi ride ever. But I'm pleased to report I did take off and land with no crashes. I would recommend it this experience to anyone.

F16 Simulator
Having been a keen flight sim novice for many years, I was looking forward to my visit to the Yorkshire flight simulator. I certainly was not disappointed. The gentleman was very helpful, knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. The Simulator was a lot of fun, and presented quite a challenge to fly accurately, which I loved. The options of what is available from the simulator is stunning. Free Flight, Air to Air Combat, Flight Refuelling, and formation flying. Just ask the man!

F16 simulator experience.
Brilliant 60 mins in the f16 simulator at the Yorkshire flight simulator in Horbury near Wakefield, the experience was realistic and the service and tuition from the trainer was superb throughout the 60 minute session.
