Excellent Experience We booked the 90 minute flight experience at Shoreham for our 13 year old son for his birthday. It was a fabulous experience for him and we all had a wonderful time. He flew to several difficult destinations including Hong Kong. And under guidance of the instructor managed brilliantly Our flight instructor Richard was superb and was very supportive for our son, resulting in a fantastic flight experience. We would definitely recommend and will certainly be going again. Thank you to all involved including the ladies we booked with as they were also fantastic with any questions we had. - 23/12/22

Boeing 737 Simulator The experience was for my 14 year old stepson and can only thank the instructor for making it a special day out for him. All I will say is just wish the flying time could be a bit longer. - 19/12/22

Absolutely brilliant 👍🧑✈️ Had a fantastic experience, flying the 737 at Shoreham. The instructor was brilliant, very knowledgeable and put me at ease as I took the controls. We had just over an hour but if felt like longer. Great day out and one I will definitely be doing again. Recommended for all flight enthusiasts and Wannabee pilots! - 11/12/22

50th birthday treat It was the best experience I ever had. Was for my 50th birthday present. The pilot Nigel was super i learnt a lot in 2 hours. It was so life like and now give these pilots massive credit what they do. Always wanted to do this as a lad but never had chance. Will be back for a second goAlso very easy to find. - 26/11/22

Brilliant 40th birthday present What a fantastic experience! As a little bit of an AV geek, I couldn't have been more pleased to have been gifted this as a 40th birthday present. The options and choices provided along with advice given for my simulator experience was spot on and gave me exactly what I was looking for from my 60 minute 'flight'. Such a friendly pilot (I believe his name was Mak), who really made it so very enjoyable. Already looking at the next one I could do. Highly recommended. - 26/11/22

We both flew the Simulator.The Simulator is excellent. Chris is an excellent teacher and makes the experience work well. Both my son and I flew the plane and it was great fun.Highly recommended. Thank you. - 12/11/22

Memorable Flight This was a wonderful experience! Mak, the pilot, took me through the controls before take-off. I had been able to choose my departure airport and my destination. Although there are on-line simulations, nothing beats taking the controls of the aircraft yourself. It make you appreciate the huge amount of knowledge and skill it takes to fly a B737-800, and Virtual Aerospace made the time spent truly memorable. - 06/11/22

Virtual "Down Under "simulation If you've ever wondered what happens when you turn left upon boarding a Boeing 737-800 as opposed to turning right to the passenger seats this is worth checking out. Certainly a step up from your games console. Mak my instructor took me through the procedures and processes of flying a 737. I already had an idea about aviation having done glider courses and a general interest in aviation. I chose some airports in New Zealand and we added Hong Kong Kai Tak for fun. I managed to land there correctly which was an achievement! Other landings did end up just off the runway. In reality it would have taken at least couple of "go arounds". The video would be better at a higher resolution plus the view out the front does not show up well. Overall a great experience when I travel and fly in NZ for real. - 03/11/22

A great 90 minutes of fun. What a great experience, made even better by the wonderfully charismatic, funny and clearly Sussex's finest raconteur instructor Mak. He gives a great insite into flying a commercial airliner and all the 'stuff 'we don't get to see as fare paying passengers! I now know why pilots have to have thousands of hours of training, as it aint as easy as it looks folks, although I did complete a text book landing into Heathrow whilst Mak sat in awe and wished he could be me! I put the next two landings into a mountain and the sea respectively as Mak sat in silent appreciation of his own superiority, but I just knew he was giggling helplessly behind the poker face at my ( clearly arranged via his ipad controller ) inevitable comeuppence.I would recommend this experience to anyone with an interest in aviation. Very authentic and just great fun. Time flew by ( yeh yeh I know, I will get my coat! ) and I would recommend buying the video of your experience as you simply cannot take it all in whilst doing all the observations, button pressing, knob twirling, general panicking, fasten your blinkin seatbelts button, and last minute MAK curve balls being thrown in your way, you absolute scoundrel.If you are ever unfortunate enough to see me at the controls of a real Aircraft, on your way to sunny Ibiza or somewhere, then exit stage door left very quickly and get a cab to Bognor instead, as it definitely isn't going to end well if you choose to stay on board, unless we are diverted to Heathrow of course then panic over and Mak gets to learn from the LHR master :0), not that a man of his stature and chiseled I'm a Pilot look would ever get onto a plane to Ibiza in the first place.Thanks Mak you are a true talent and I could sit and listen to your stories for hours.Sorry for my lenghty waffle. Chocks away! - 03/11/22

Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Had an hours session as a birthday present on the 737 simulator with tutor Mak and it was extremely informative & enjoyable. Didn't know what to expect but was looking forward to it & wasn't the least bit disappointed. The session is quite intense & was a real workout & you do get the impression you are actually in control of an airliner. Had a wide choice of preference for which airports to take off and land from. Would certainly recommend this for a special occasion treat or even for the more serious aspiring pilots. - 02/11/22

Brilliant Experience all Around The experience was brilliant, I really enjoyed the flight simulator and my instructor Max was fantastic and very helpful, I would throughly recommend this experience. - 28/10/22

Great experience Had a great time on my 2nd simulator experience. I was flying with Nigel who was great and was so professional throughout and very encouraging. Can't wait to do it again. - 26/10/22

Amazing experience! My daughter and I recently completed flight training in the Boeing737 800 flight simulator at Shoreham. Our instructor Mak was very engaging and provided us with the necessary instruction and a considerable amount of general knowledge about aviation. Despite some poor weather conditions and various challenging landing approaches, we were able to get the plane on the ground in a fashion! Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our time in the simulator.We 100% recommend flying with Visual Aerospace, our instructor was lovely and it was a wonderful experience. - 26/10/22

Amazing experience We had an amazing time at Virtual Aerospace. Everything was well organised, and we were provided excellent guidance by Frederico, our instructor. Frederico was professional, helpful and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. In total we packed in 5 flights from different airports and under different conditions, and the whole 90 minutes just flew by. - 25/10/22

Watching my 12 year have the time of his life. (So far!) Watching my 12 year have the time of his life. (So far!) Bought as a birthday present and used today. He has ambition to be a fighter pilot, so this was a first real experience of flying and it was a massive hit. NIgel the instructor was amazing. Very friendly and really good with a 12 YO. Cannot recommend this as an experience enough. - 24/10/22

Fantastic Excellent. Had a great instructor in Richard and the 2 hours just flew past. From beginning to end the whole thing was brilliant, taking off from Gatwick, landing at Heathrow and then landing at Innsbruck. You get a real idea of how difficult flying a plane is but the instructor helps manage the plane so your experience is a good rather than a complete novice failure. I am sure I will be back. - 24/10/22

UP UP AND AWAY. Taking off and landing with the assistance of a ecellent captain Mak he put me at ease in the first minutes of meeting. It was a pleasure to fly under his instructions and well worth the experience One tip relax and enjoy - 22/10/22

Brilliant This started out as a birthday gift at the start of the pandemic. When I phoned to explain my circumstances at the time the booking team were brilliant and allowed the voucher to roll over. So today 21/10/22 I finally got to fly in the simulator. To say it was great is an understatement. My instructor was Keith who led me through ‘start up’ then take off and flights. He was great , making the whole experience very interesting and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this experience and hope to get more ‘flights in’ in the future. - 21/10/22

Mak, you're brilliant! I was gifted a flight experience for Christmas last year after instructing everyone I knew to get me nothing because I was in my 38th week of pregnancy and gruuuuumpy! And boy am I pleased I got it! We had an amazing time at the facilities in Shoreham and our instructor Mak was absolutely brilliant and facilitated my partner and our 6 month old baby too! I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a unique gift for someone, no matter how ungiftable they are! - 16/10/22
Nick B
Outstanding Experience This 90 min 737 experience was a birthday present for my 50th. I was really unsure what to expect but on arrival my instructor Mak went through and explained everything. I chose the airports I wanted to visit based on past and upcoming holidays. The whole experience was one I will never forget and is so realistic that you come away with an even greater admiration for airline pilots and the skill it takes to master these machines in reality. Although I don't think my virtual passengers appreciated all the crash landings!! Really couldn't recommend this experience enough and can't wait to do it again. - 12/10/22
