Loads of fun.
I absolutely loved doing this. It was the most fun I have had in years. Always loved playing flight sims on the pc. This took flying to a whole new level. Would definitely recommend.

F35 simulator flight
A good fun experience , which after a brief chat with the instructor on previous experience and a bit of local info produced a flight path over my local area , adding in a variety of landing styles and aerobatics , then a combat scenario to give a good range of experiences in my one hour event , a big thank you to the young lady pilot who guided me through👍

Great experience
Hour long instruction on flying F-35 fighter jet. Flying over north of England to start with and then you could choose somewhere else in the world to fly. Takeoffs and vertical landings on land and ship. Got to shoot some bad guys out of the sky too. Only downside is that Virgin are very expensive for this experience. It was much cheaper if booked direct with the Flight Sim Centre. Great experience that I would do again.

Flight Simulator
Impressed with the instructors calmness and people skills in guiding complete novices on a machine that requires a great deal of knowledge, experience and practice to even begin to control it. I would highly recommend the experience.
