This was a Lads and Dads day out and what an introduction into the life of a Pilot. I was overwhelmed by the volume of switches and dials in a nice way. Dave gave us expert tuition and some fun along the journey. Highly recommended.

We were a group of 3, with each person being able to watch the others. I believe that 3 would be a maximum otherwise number 1 will be bored after number 3 has completed their run.

Made very welcome on arrival. Staff and instructor could not have done any more to make you feel welcome, comfortable and informed. The biggest surprise was to actually sit in an actual 737 cockpit that for many years flew the skies was one of the highlights. The instructor was excellent and very engaging and encouraging. We did a whole flight from Manchester out over the coast and circling round over Blackpool before landing back in Manchester. What an experience and would definitely do it again.

I was made welcome immediately, offered a cup of tea even though I was very early.
Everyone was very friendly and welcoming.
The actual experience itself was amazing and although there was a lot to take in everything was explained clearly and without rushing.
To see and understand the flying procedure was fascinating and exciting.

Just simply that I had such a wonderful time I will thoroughly recommend the experience to everyone I know and will be encouraging friends and relatives to have the experience as birthday treats.
Simply brilliant, I am very grateful.
