Virtual Aerospace Reviews 104

We booked as a birthday present and paid a little bit extra for another person and it was a all out amazing service the instructor Richard was amazing super friendly and helpful explained everything in a very easy and understanding way would definitely recommend and was a great experience.

I am a 72 year old male.
I have not had so much fun since my teen😁
What an absolutely amazing experience. So engrossed in my 747-800 experience that i was completely in the zone. Captain Greg was a fantastic “2nd officer😁” thanks Greg.
The whole package was out of this world. I’m still smiling, hours later. Best Xmas present ive had.
Will definitely be returning for more. Thanks guys.

Received the flight experience as a Birthday Present, and absolutely loved it! Very helpful instructor called Richard who was very funny and helpful with everything I needed help with! Definitely recommend to any age.

What a Xmas present this was,to 'fly' a plane I always admired and was in awe of,the Vulcan bomber, under the guidance of Martin Cartledge at Stockport .
Once in the captain's seat he asked where I wanted to go. Deciding to go over the derbyshire dales and then up to the Lake District for some low level flying, he plotted a course and through the windows it was so real,as was the sounds when increasing engine power .
Going down to 150ft above Coniston water,I had forgotten I was 'in a box',showing how realistic the experience is , before heading back for quite a reasonable landing ( In my mind).
The graphics, sound and instruction were 1st class,thank you Martin. Sorry I wanted to keep left,and by the way your book is an excellent read .I hope the pump clip reminds you of my efforts, now go and find the vulcan beer.
Many thanks to your organisation for an excellent time . Alan Colclough

Thoroughly enjoyed my simulator experience down in Shoreham. It’s so realistic it’s crazy! Mak was very friendly, knowledgable and made sure my experience was one not to forget. Was lovely being able to have my Grandad along who sat in the jump seat and got to see and hear everything I was doing. Highly recommend. Thank you Mak :-)

thought I would try and be a hero---- just me left on board, everyone else passed out----had to take over, and it was a great experience, thrilling, even stressful, but well worth it. Mel was brilliant, explained everything in a way that was understood, really nice guy, he knew exactly how to present the experience, just excellent. its def not easy- but its agreat feeling to ---survive virtual suicide, thanks guys

An absolutely fantastic morning. My instructor, Nigel, was brilliant. Everything was explained in a clear and concise manner. Nigel mixed up the routes and destination airports to add even more enjoyment to a simply amazing experience.
Thank you Virtual Aerospace.

This is about the sixth or seventh time I have 'flown' with Virtual Aerospace. I flew with my son who acted as First Officer. Our instructor Mak listened to what we wanted to do and made every effort to accommodate us. In doing so he also made a number of useful suggestions. Throughout the two hour session Mak both guided us on the deeper aspects of aircraft operations but also provided a superb ATC service all of which enhanced the expereince. A great couple of hours and well worth the money spent and the distance travelled.

My son had a fantastic experience this afternoon under Richard’s patient, entertaining and informative guidance.
He enjoyed multiple take offs and landings with Richard from various airports and weather conditions.
Richard was also very accommodating so that we could both enjoy the experience with our son.

Finally got to go after almost a year of back log, what an experience, both my Wife and I enjoyed it, she sat behind me, my instructor Richard put me at ease and was very patient, explained everything ( there was a lot to take in) we flew into Luton Airport then Hong Kong Airport, wow, amazing.
I highly recommend the experience, if you like planes as I do, this is a great insight in to what goes on up front in an Aircraft
A big thank you to Richard, you were a gentleman.

MAK was great. The experience was perfect for both myself and my wife. We both enjoyed pretending to land in Sydney airport after the pilots were both incapacitated… it was firm but safe landing! Thanks again

My friend and I attended a long awaited simulator experience at the weekend. It was run by an experienced ex Met officer and Private pilot called Richard. He was absolutely first class and gave us both well balanced help to make our experience both fun and educational. His humour and friendliness made the whole morning a great experience.i would thoroughly recommend this experience.

Took my son here as a birthday present to experience 'flying' a 737. He had a fantastic time, experiencing takeoff and landing procedures from a variety of airports as well as navigating the plane. The instructor, Richard, was extremely helpful and patient with him, ensuring he got the most out of his time in the simulator. Would definitely recommend the experience.

I am an aircraft nut and have gone past just MS Flight Simulator. My wife bought me an experience for Christmas for 75 minutes on a 737 800 at Virtual Aerospace in Shoreham. The day was very professional and Richard was superb. He was very patient and we got 'flying' very quickly and the simulator is hyper realistic. I had a great time and after 2 or 3 minutes you are in the zone and flying. Excellent experience and I will go again. The cabin behind the cockpit was a nice touch.

Patrick and Richard did a great job in Shoreham. Thank you

This 90 min 737 experience was a birthday present for my 50th. I was really unsure what to expect but on arrival my instructor Mak went through and explained everything. I chose the airports I wanted to visit based on past and upcoming holidays. The whole experience was one I will never forget and is so realistic that you come away with an even greater admiration for airline pilots and the skill it takes to master these machines in reality. Although I don't think my virtual passengers appreciated all the crash landings!! Really couldn't recommend this experience enough and can't wait to do it again.

I had great time at Virtual Aerospace, my son bought the experience for my birthday, I am 77 years old, and I was apprehensive that I would struggle but no problem the instructor was brilliant before we started, he set my mind at ease. During the "flight" he gave me clear instructions and prompts. The time went by so quickly and at end of it was just buzzing so to the people at Virtual Aerospace thanks for such a great time, I'll never forget it

Had a 150 minute experience as a present for father's day. My instructor was Richard and he was awesome. From start to finish he was excited, enthusiastic and engaging. Although the experience was for myself he interacted with my wife and kids throughout the experience.

Setup was excellent, the flights I did were fun and challenging and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend asking for Richard when booking as you will not be disappointed.

A brilliant 90mins flying an iconic aircraft around the Mach Loop in Wales and then some circuits at Warton. Professional pilot Greg was fantastic and helped to take me from my PPL to another level. I would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon on the 737.

I was given the experience as a gift and I didn't know what to expect. It was really great. Interesting, stimulating, exhilarating, challenging and above all great fun. The instructor was Nigel and he was brilliant. Helpful, patient, tactful and enthusiastic. I would recommend this to anyone vaguely interested in planes, trains, and automobiles and how to operate them. From now on I'll look at pilots with even more respect.
