After you have changed into the flight suit & anti G pants you will be offered a complimentary coffee before the pre flight briefing, Your instructor will then take you to the simulator, & he will be on h& to help you to climb into the cockpit, strap you into the ejector seat & assist you to put on the helmet & oxygen mask which also doubles up as your intercom to keep you in touch with the instructor who will be in the rear cockpit to give assistance when necessary during your time at the controls of the jet fighter.

The flight suits are genuine RAF issue as such there are size limitation, we will do our utmost to provide all RAF sizes.

We will tailor make each session to your requirements.

If you have no experience of flying, the instructor is on h& to give you all the help you need to enjoy the fighter experience. If on the other h& you are experienced flyer, you may prefer to prepare your own flight plan & use the simulator without the assistance of the instructor – that’s for you to decide!

The simulator is the cockpit section of a real jet fighter consequently it has the feel & smell that you just can’t replicate

The simulator is a Delfin L29 which was flown by the Romanian Air Force until it was decommissioned in the early 1980′s. it has the markings RED 47, its serial number is 692147

The Delfin L29 was designed to be a jet fighter/ bomber trainer for the Warsaw Pact countries (NATO code name was Maya).

Around 3,500 were built.

The Delfin L29 is an ideal aircraft to model a Flight simulator on, due to its flight characteristics, & in particular to its slow stall speed which is very useful when landing, yet its nimble enough to produce a challenging aerobatic display. We have used hidden speakers & sub sound transponders to produce the sounds & vibrations expected when starting the engine or lowering the landing gear & thundering down the runway.
