Flight Simulators

Flight Bay Simulators

Fly the sky and practice flights like a real pilot

Experience state-of-the art technology more advanced than any video game. Redbird Jay Velocity simulators are high quality machines enhanced and expanded for professional-level simulation.
 

SEPTEMBER-MAY SCHEDULE

Saturday | 11 am – 3 pm 
Sunday | 12 pm – 4 pm

Help keep these simulators in prime condition:

  • Ages 4 and under may only copilot and must sit with an adult (age 18+) who pilots.  Ages 4 and under may not operate the yoke.
  • Ages 5-11 must sit with an adult (age 18+) to pilot the yoke.
  • Simulators must be operated with slow, smooth, gentle movements.  These machines react like a real airplane and they take time to respond to a pilot’s command.
  • Anyone operating the simulators in a manner that may damage the machines will not be permitted to fly.

 

Schedule is subject to change. Advance reservations and paid programs may close the simulator bay without notice.
 
Groups are not permitted during public hours.  Groups must book an advanced reservation for use of flight bay simulators.
