About the experience
Go behind the scenes of what it’s like to be a fighter jet pilot, with this realistic fully operational RAF Phantom simulator. With the original cockpit featuring fully functional controls, this is as close as you can get to flying the real aircraft. Alongside a trained pilot you will learn how to use this sim as you fly through the missions of your choice, whether that be a day or night flight. This simulator also has a hydraulic motion platform, meaning you’ll feel every bump in the road as you steer this F-4 Phantom sim through exciting missions, take-offs or landings. This is your chance to feel like an RAF fighter pilot with not only an incredible range of flying options and realistic sim but even the chance to try on a fighter jet uniform throughout your flight. In no time, you will soon be fitting right in and will forget you are inside a simulator and not travelling through the skies. Being one of the most famous fighter jets in the UK and worldwide, you won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to get behind a real cockpit and immerse yourself in manoeuvers at military bases or take off from an aircraft carrier in the sea. You can do it all with this simulator and nothing is out of bounds. If you’ve ever wanted to know what it's like to be a fighter jet pilot, or simply brush up on your technical skills, this simulator in Peterborough is the perfect fit.
