About the experience
Product ID: 15345
Prepare to take off - without ever leaving the ground - in this fully immersive Flight Simulator of the iconic Mk IX Spitfire on a 60 minute training session at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. This active RAF/USAF airbase is perhaps the most perfect location for this flight simulator package, which the people behind it have worked closely with Mildenhall over the years, so have an in-depth understanding of avionics electronics to help this Spitfire simulator feel as close to flying the real thing as possible. It comes with a complete replica cockpit, full analogue controls and tactile, and a 220° HD screen, offering the outside views in ultra high resolution quality, with those iconic elliptical wings and propeller also projected onto the screen, all to help you feel just even a small amount of what those trainee WWII fighter pilots must have felt. After a session in the training sim, to get you used to the instruments, start up, taxiing, flight controls and landing, you'll move over to the Spitfire simulator to complete your mission: successfully flying it and potentially taking on a Battle of Britain aerial dogfight. It all adds up to what promises to be both an evocative and exciting flight simulator experience for military aviation enthusiasts.

So easy to book and when we arrived for the Spitfire simulator we were overwhelmed with the instructors welcome and knowledge. From start to finish my husband was totally enthralled by the experience and is looking to book again.

A fantastic experience. The cockpit was an accurate replica of the original and provided a realistic appreciation of what it was like to fly a Spitfire. The instructor was knowledgeable and patient, and set the pace according to my slow learning.
