Just had a 60 minute flight simulator and I would thoroughly recommend it. The introduction and flight options are based on your level of experience, in my case nil, and in the time allowed you have a couple of take offs and landings and some general flying all with you in control. The simulator is fixed base so any passengers... More

Apparently I am a difficult person to buy a birthday present for so a group got together and bought me a 60 minute voucher. The whole process was really well organised from the booking to the day itself. On arrival I was given a choice of what I wanted to do. To maximise air time I started on the runway... More

This was given to me as a present - a one hour session in a 737 flight simulator. It is really well organised with very helpful staff. I made a selection of take off and landings from heathrow finishing off with landings at Hong Kong s old Kai Tak airport. It is totally realistic and the whole experience is brilliant.... More

If you ever thought that flying a simulator was easy, think again. This is no computer game but a real time experience that demands 100% concentration but is still an awesome experience. Everyone involved was welcoming and extremely professional, a thoroughly enjoyable day out. Thanks to Sajid for making us welcome and helping us to land safely.

My wife bought me a 60 minute flight experience for my birthday. Wow! What a great time! On arrival we were treated very well whilst waiting and the reception staff were welcoming. My instructor Mark took us both into the briefing room and I chose the option of circuits and landings. It was a very good explanation of what was... More

My wife had kindly given me a 90minute booking at the Virtual Aerospace as a Christmas Present in a Flight Simulator aboard a 737-800. My son accompanied me to the venue and upon arrival we were greeted and taken into the Simulator, myself in the left hand seat and the Captain in the right hand seat. My son sat in... More

This was a surprise Christmas present from my wife and I have to say this gift went a long way towards giving me a small piece of my childhood back. My wife and I were met in reception by Lee who told me a little about what I was to expect and asked what I would like to do. I... More
