RAF Mildenhall Flying Experiences

Situated in the heart of East Anglia, RAF Mildenhall has played a significant role within the aviation world since the 1930s when it was first established. Nowadays, it’s still considered a significant aviation venue in the region and is in current use by the US Air Force that have four separate units operating from here.

For those wanting to appreciate a bit of aviation history, RAF Mildenhall should definitely be on your radar. With extensive use throughout World War 2 where it even opened its gates to the public for Empire Day, hosting its first ‘Air Show’ where around 6,000 attended. RAF Mildenhall even played a role in the significant D-Day operation in 1944, and was used as a staging point for large numbers of Horsa Gliders.

Simulator Experiences

Taking the plunge and flying a plane can be nerve crunching at the best of times, but particularly when you’re first starting out and trying to get the hang of the controls. However, with a virtual simulator experience, you can practice how to fly a range of planes through different flying conditions all from the comfort of being inside.

Simulators are used by people training to be pilots and RAF pilots wanting to tighten up their skills or practice tricky manoeuvres. There's a good reason why they are on the agenda for those who want to feel confident in the skies, because you can practice until your heart's content, without having to worry about what could happen if you make a mistake.

Whether you want to practice in a commercial Boeing 737, Lynx or Spitfire, there’s a huge range of Simulator Experiences at RAF Mildenhall designed to get you confident before you take to the skies. Alternatively, they are the ideal experience if you’ve been out of the skies for a while and want to get your head back in the game.

All simulator sessions here will be run by experts in the field, and most with active RAF or commercial pilots. You can explore the range of simulator sessions we currently offer by browsing through the packages above.

Terms and Conditions for RAF Mildenhall

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
