30 Minute Spitfire Flight Simulator

IWOOT - Stuff you really, really want

Step back in time and discover yourself behind the controls of World War II’s most famous fighter aircraft, with this 30 Minute Spitfire Flight Simulator. Dazzlingly realistic, your simulator experience takes place in the full-size cockpit, where you can choose between a 200-degree external projector screen or a Virtual Reality headset.

It’s up to you how you want to enjoy your experience, whether that’s enjoying the sights as you fly over the white cliffs of Dover, or shooting down enemies in an enthralling dogfight. Your instructor will guide you through take-off, general handling, approach, and eventually your landing.
