Experience the challenge of aerial maneuvers at 500 knots, aircraft take-offs and landings and the excitement of air-to-air combat. Up to ten people can fly at the same time, each in their own authentic F-16 flight simulator! There is also the "Officer's Club", an observation area where guests can view and listen to all of the action on large LCD monitors, where they will see what each pilot is seeing during their flight and also hear the interaction between the pilots and the ATC crew (air traffic control).Flightdeck offers 45 minute air combat flights and 30, 60 & 90 minute Boeing 737 flights. Advanced reservations are required. « less

This beats it all, best thing I've done in years. Don't waste time in Disneyland when you come to Anaheim, drive straight off to Flightdeck. I killed 9 Migs, got killed 7 times and crashlanded one out of two but had the time of my life. Too bad we had to leave Anaheim after my flight otherwise I would have... More

Our department went to this - it was our team building event. Everyone, different ages, men & women, we all enjoyed ourselves so much. We want to do it again! Their facilities are very nice and the people are friendly. Our instructor first had us all suit up for our flight and then guided us through the different flying techniques.... More

My 15 year old son wore a flying suit and live out a dream. He flew (simulated) a F16. He loved the experience. Staff were really helpful and personable. He would definitely do it again. More

This was a lot of fun! I took my boyfriend and stepfather and we all three "flew". My stepfather was a pilot in the war and he loved it. The staff was friendly and the pre-flight instructions were very helpful. It can be complex operating the simulators. You are in a training vehicle, so it's not like playing a video... More

I wanted to help my son-in-law recuperate from an overload of Baby Shower activity and set up a Man-Only Outing at FlightDeck as a surprise for him. A few of his best friends and I went to dinner where I asked him what was on his bucket list hoping he would say flying a combat plane in a dog-fight. Well... More

I hosted my husband's 50 surprise birthday party at Flightdeck. We had so much fun training and flying the simulators. Everyone agreed it was a unique place to enjoy. We were able to bring in food, beverages, decorations, and videos. The crew helped plan and impliment a party to remember. Thank you again Paul, Rich, and long time friend Steve. More

We bought a Groupon to fly a 737 simulator - 30 minute flight. The experience from the time we walked through the door to the end was outstanding. The staff were friendly and professional. The facilities were clean and comfortable. We felt this was a great experience and would recommend this center to our friends and family. More

I purchased two Viper 1 Air Combat sessions, one for myself and one for my father, who was flying in from the East Coast to visit. The Viper 1 session is a specific high-end session which takes a little over 3 hours. It includes detailed training and 3 "flights". First, I want to explain the "above and beyond" treatment we...
