Runway Flight Simulator…

Bought 2 Runway Flight Simulator sessions (Spitfire and 747), as a Christmas gift for a friend.
From FIRST contact Jon Bryan (MD) was just amazing, he answered all my questions, discussed the best options and gave great advice to purchase what became a really smashing experience!!
The staff were just ACE, professional, informative and fun... Keith (Pilot) was great and willing to 'take-off, fly and land' at interesting airports such as Innsbruck and Hong Kong.
Contact Jon if you have questions, his enthusiasm is infectious and they genuinely want you to enjoy your experience.
I would wholeheartedly recommend a Runway visit to any aviation enthusiast, and certainly hope to return in the future.

Spitfire and Vulcan - fabulous!

Absolutely brilliant! From the moment I arrived I could see how professional and dedicated the whole team are. My flight instructor, Martyn Cartledge, was super qualified, immensely patient, gave first class instruction and very constructive feedback. It could not have been better. 90 mins each in the Spitfire and Vulcan (the cockpit of which you have to see to believe!). With Martyn's excellent coaching I performed aerobatics in the Spitfire and then flew through Tower Bridge and UNDER London Bridge. The Vulcan was an absolute joy. What a machine. Huge thanks to Martyn and John (the MD) for making this day everything I hoped it would be - and more. Superb :)

Great Experience

My son Niles wants to be a commercial pilot and had a forty five minute 737 experience and it was brilliant. Will definitely be booking him in for the Airbus.

Brilliant experience 747

Brilliant experience with Mike in the 747. No flying experience and mind blown but it was really good fun. Everybody at Runway passionate and very friendly.

Absolutely brilliant experience flying a 737, every aspect of the experience was professionally delivered, there is also a Vulcan, Spitfire and a A380, plus coming soon is a Red Arrow. Family and friends are welcome to watch, looking forward to experiencing the others.

Fantastic experience

Spent 90 minutes with Cmdr Gramps flying a spitfire, what a fantastic experience, will be going back to have a go in a Vulcan. Highly recommend Trying it.

Just do it

Outstanding. Ignore the one star review (it should really be removed, it’s about a different operation).

Wasn’t sure what to expect, but have no doubts this is a quality experience delivered by experienced pilots and enthusiasts, not just a game.

My son flew the Airbus with Iwan who made the experience fun, informative and educational from start to finish.

If you’re remotely interested, just book it - one of the few times you’ll walk away with no regrets.

Beware

Beware - I lost a lot of money as the predecessor Company went into administration and then re-opened again as the Company they are now. Just beware your money isn't necessarily safe if the same thing happens again.

Reply from Runway Flight Simulators

Hi Mike,

We just wanted to clarify the situation you have described. Almost two years ago, the previous company to which you are referring, went into liquidation and unfortunately, there were people who did not receive their experience.

Runway Flight Simulators Ltd are a brand-new company made from a group of flight instructors, aviation enthusiasts, and friends. We do not have any affiliation to the previous company or its management.

We would be more than happy to discuss this further with you should you wish. If you would like to, please feel free to contact us on 0161 359 8558 or bookings@runwaysim.com.

Kind regards

Runway Flight Simulators.

Fantastic 737 realism

This was by far the most enjoyable and informative sim session i have taken. Instructor Paul was terrific. The 737 was set up for the most incredible realism. More than highly recommended.
