About the experience
Prepare to take off - without ever leaving the ground - in this fully immersive Flight Simulator of the iconic Mk IX Spitfire on a 60 minute training session at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk. This active RAF/USAF airbase is perhaps the most perfect location for this flight simulator package, which the people behind it have worked closely with Mildenhall over the years, so have an in-depth understanding of avionics electronics to help this Spitfire simulator feel as close to flying the real thing as possible. It comes with a complete replica cockpit, full analogue controls and tactile, and a 220° HD screen, offering the outside views in ultra high resolution quality, with those iconic elliptical wings and propeller also projected onto the screen, all to help you feel just even a small amount of what those trainee WWII fighter pilots must have felt. After a session in the training sim, to get you used to the instruments, start up, taxiing, flight controls and landing, you'll move over to the Spitfire simulator to complete your mission: successfully flying it and potentially taking on a Battle of Britain aerial dogfight. It all adds up to what promises to be both an evocative and exciting flight simulator experience for military aviation enthusiasts.
