The Main Event

Got a need for speed? Then this Top Gun Fighter Jet simulator experience is the one for you.

If you've ever dreamed of manoeuvring a fighter jet through the skies, then this is the next best thing.

The advanced air combat software and 320 degree wrap around screen used in this flight simulator gives you an incredibly realistic experience that you'll feel like you're on your own secret mission!

No experience is necessary, your flying instructor will guide you through take-off and close formation flying followed by some aerobatic manoeuvres to acclimatise you to the g-force, and then you will be introduced to tail chasing and air combat against your opponent.

This flight simulator is regularly used as a “Fast Jet” training aid for professional and trainee pilots however everyone is welcome on this experience from ages 10 upwards.

Overview of this Top Gun Fighter Jet simulator experience:

Get kitted out in a military flying suit to really look the part and choose your call-sign ("Maverick", "Iceman" etc...) for the session.
Learn how to fly aerobatics and perform air combat manoeuvres.
Get comfy in the ejector seat and take the controls of the full size F/A-18 Hornet.
Launch from the aircraft carrier, manoeuvring in the climb and learn the effects of the aircraft controls and aerobatics manoeuvres.
(Hopefully!) shoot down the bad guy!
Perform a fighter pilot flyby re-join to land. (Buzz the Tower!)
Exit the aircraft and celebrate mission accomplished!
Debrief with your instructor, review your air combat results and receive a flight certificate with the opportunity to take some photos.
