The Main Event

Ever dreamt of flying a Boeing 747? Now’s your chance to take control of the Queen of the Skies! 

This incredible experience invites both kids (aged 7 and up) and adults to hop into the cockpit of a genuine ex-British Airways 747-400, now transformed into an immersive simulator at Barton Aerodrome. Get ready for an unforgettable adventure that’s perfect for gift-giving!

As you settle into the left or right seat, you'll be greeted by one of the highly experienced instructors, who will guide you through every step of this thrilling flight. With a full 180-degree wrap-around screen creating a stunningly realistic environment, you’ll feel like you’re soaring high above the clouds. Your aircraft, registration G-BYGA, was retired from service in March 2020 and has been meticulously preserved for this unique experience.

What can you expect? Well, everyone learns at their own pace, so your adventure will be tailored to suit your needs. If you’re a novice, don’t worry! Your instructor will spend a few minutes explaining the basic controls and instruments, allowing you to get comfortable with handling them. Then, it’s time to choose your destination and take off on a flight of a lifetime!

Whether you're landing at a local airport or attempting a challenging Kai Tak approach, each session can include multiple take-offs, landings, and even some emergency scenarios. Feeling adventurous? Why not try flying under the Golden Gate Bridge or attempting a Sully Hudson landing? Just let your instructor know your wishes, and they’ll ensure you make the most of your time in the cockpit.

So, why wait? Give the gift of flight and make dreams come true with this exhilarating Boeing 747 simulator experience! It’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss!
