What To Expect
VOTED IRELAND'S BEST DAY OUT 2023!
First, get in style with your flight suit, take a seat to learn the fundamentals of flight!
We explain how the aircraft wing makes lift, what forces act on the aircraft and how it’s controlled in flight. Your pilot instructor will demonstrate the controls on your virtual aircraft, an aerobatic Extra 300. Your challenge is to race the other aircraft from JFK to the Statue of Liberty, the first to loop the loop wins!
Following your flight simulator experience, you will be guided through the museum to learn more about the exhibits. Wander among the wings of iconic vintage aircraft, marvel at the sleek lines of past fighter jets, sit into the cockpit of an aircraft and take lots of great photos to share
