My F18 flight experience was so much fun, but it was also educational. With Paul’s professional instruction and guidance my F18 experience was as close to an actual live flight as I could imagine. Anyone can do it with the great instructors at Flight Rush and Air Combat Centre.

I used the light aircraft simulator (Beech Baron) to prepare for a flight test. It was realistic to the aircraft I was going to fly and I could also practice night flying.

It is incredible. It’s difficult to fully describe how amazing it feels to step inside an airliner cockpit and not just see it and what happens, but actually take off and land the aircraft. There’s so much to do!

Once you have the basics covered or are an advance or returning flyer, you can learn the procedures for vertical takeoffs, hovering and precise landings, guided by your instructor. For really advanced students, when everything comes together you can try the R22. It’s still not as easy as you think!
