Just flown a Vulcan bomber !… Just flown a Vulcan bomber around the north of England, through the steam of a power station cooling towers, low level down Derwent water lake where the dam busters tested their bombs and low over head Liverpool and Portmeirion and finally landing at RAF valley on Anglesey. Plus a barrel role. Great fun !!! Thanks to my wife for a wonderful Christmas Present and who took the jump seat in the cockpit. Great setup at Flightdeck Experiences ! Thanks to Martin for such a great job co-piloting. - 31/10/23

I was lucky enough to be bought a… I was lucky enough to be bought a flight sim voucher by my friends for my 70th birthday. I travelled to Stockport yesterday, 29/10/23, for my flight. I was greeted by Derek, my instructor , and taken to the Vulcan simulator where he carried out the flight briefing. I had the gate to gate experience so the trip started from a cold start and taxi to the runway. Once positioned we took off at an amazing 15 degree angle of climb. What followed was 60 minutes of high concentration to complete the sortie which included a ‘dive’ into a bomber run from 20k feet which felt pretty real to me. Then onto low level flying over the Lake District. Truly amazing managed to get to 40 feet above the water. Managed to ‘dip’ the tail climbing back to a safer Hight. We then flew south along the North West coast past Blackpool tower to land a RAF Walton. The landing wasn’t great and far too fast, hence running off the end of the runway. A great flight and managed not to crash the iconic old warbird. I would like to thank Virtual Aerospace. From the start I was treated very well by their lady at the booking, I believe was Elaine, please forgive me if I have got your name wrong. She made it a very easy process. It was a fair time to wait to get booked in, I can see why it is so popular. I also want to thank Derek who made the experience and most enjoyable time. His knowledge was phenomenal and the way he explained what and why things were carried out really easy to follow. It was an amazing day and well worth the 9 hour round trip drive well worth it. Thanks again and will be saving my pennies to try the Spitfire my next visit. First class! - 30/10/23



Very realistic Arrived for my flight and was met by a warm welcome by Nigel. Went through some pre briefings and then got into the cockpit which was very realistic. I was a PPL many years ago and it brought back a lot of memories. We completed a number of takeoffs and landings which was very good. Nigel was very helpful and knowledgeable and gave some great instructions. I thoroughly enjoyed the 90 minuets I spent flying the 737. Whilst it was not full motion it still provided very real flying. Once again thanks to Nigel who made the experience very realistic and enjoyable. Will be back for more - 14/10/23



I had a great time in the spitfire… I had a great time in the spitfire simulator, managed to take off and land with out crashing thanks to the excellent instruction from Peter call sign "Mr Rusty". Felt very realistic finished with a total of 9 kills. Great experience would highly recommend. - 10/10/23

Fantastic experience Fantastic experience at Virtual Aerospace in Shoreham. Richard was brilliant and made us feel very welcome. We were given plenty of time to fit in a couple of take-offs and landings, and Richard was great company throughout. A really good time was had by all. - 02/10/23



Ignore J4923's review. It really is rather good! Firstly, if you are reading the 1 star review listed somewhere below, courtesy of J4923, it might well give you something to laugh about, but is certainly far from the experience that we had today (it seems J4923 drives a 911, so what can you expect but general arrogance towards most things in life?)! Myself and a work colleague flew the Boeing 737 simulator, with former captain, David. We spent just over two hours collectively flying to and from various world-wide airports. The cockpit was very realistic, as were the simulator graphics. Obviously, your brain will decipher that it's not real, but still it's real enough to provide a very good flying experience, without any of the real life drawbacks ie, if you do crash, then you'll actually survive, and probably won't end up in prison either! Towards the end of the session, I landed at Hong Kong's old airport, and my local UK airport, both of which were fantastic, and I might add, completely unaided by David. I don't mind admitting that I was actually sweating a little, knowing that I had to get all one hundred and eighty odd passengers on board back home safely!! Anyway, I managed it, and pretty well if I say so myself. To be honest, even if I'd completely messed it up, I'd have still had a blast. We also had a quick taster of the Vulcan, which I'd be interested in having a proper go in, at a later date. Again, please just bear in mind that it IS only a simulator (that means you, J4923), and that the only way that you'll get the true Vulcan experience, is to fly an actual Vulcan, which I would say is probably highly unlikely! This really is the next best thing. All of the good points, none of the bad points. I would certainly recommend booking. Go along with an open mind and you'll have loads of fun, and a fantastic experience that you'll remember for a long while! Would make an ideal birthday or anniversary treat. Even a bucket list experience! - 29/09/23

















Just a brilliant day! Very knowledgeable and informative instructor. An incredible experience for an 11 year old. How many boys have flown under the Golden Gate bridge and barrel rolled a Boeing 737 over Alcatraz. A brilliant day and much recommended. We will be booking the Spitfire simulator for some one on one combat action! - 09/07/23

Birthday treat Had a brilliant time in the 737 simulator. Richard was friendly, welcoming and truly made my birthday gift a real treat. He was able to adapt the experience to suit my skills level, haha no skill level at all but he made sure it was fun and that I had a good time. Thanks, Richard 🙂 - 29/06/23

Better than expected Better than expected. Birthday present from family, went to Shoreham with Grandson to fly on the 737 simulator. We both loved it and would recommend it highly. Richard was an amazing excellent instructor; patient, amusing, welcoming and clearly knows his stuff. - 24/06/23
