Experience the challenge of aerial maneuvers at 500 knots, aircraft take-offs and landings and the excitement of air-to-air combat. Up to ten people can fly at the same time, each in their own authentic F-16 flight simulator! There is also the "Officer's Club", an observation area where guests can view and listen to all of the action on large LCD monitors, where they will see what each pilot is seeing during their flight and also hear the interaction between the pilots and the ATC crew (air traffic control).Flightdeck offers 45 minute air combat flights and 30, 60 & 90 minute Boeing 737 flights. Advanced reservations are required. « less

We recently held my son's 11th birthday party at Flightdeck and had a fantastic time! Not only have the kids who attended been talking about going back, my son has already said he wants his next birthday party and can't wait until he's 13 and can fly the bigger Boeing jets! The party was such a success BECAUSE of the... More

Loved it! Did it for my birthday and am looking forward to doing it again someday. Enjoyed it so much that I recommend it to the guests staying at the hotel I work at as something to do that is NOT the "norm" for a vacation trip. Everyone I have sent there has come back raving... so it isn't just... More

It's pretty neat, don't try to go anal and figure out what's right/left/down/up, just 'feel' the plane. You get to wear a jumpsuit along with everyone else, jump into the cockpit of a simulator jet, and have at it. I gotta go again and wipe my sister off the face of the map this time!

My husband and college age kids have enjoyed Flightdeck several times but this visit was for a 13 year old birthday party. The staff at Flightdeck were amazing with the children. They kept the energy up, were funny, helpful and seemed to enjoy the working with kids. The party room was super clean and everything was running on time but... More

(and my wife) but I hit the deck myself... I had GREAT fun with these guys. Went once as a business event and then back twice; once with the guys and the second time with the wives. Nothing like shooting your spouse down over Bosnia! lol. It's easier than you might think - everyone can functionally fly, shoot and maneuver.... More

We wanted to try something different for our son's 8th birthday party so we booked an event at Flight Deck for our son and 11 of his friends.  We could not have been more pleased with how everything turned out!  From the moment we arrived the kids loved the atmosphere - from ejection seats in the lobby to the videos...

I can make this short and sweet. The 737 simulator was fantastic, real, enlightening, awesome and i can't wait to do it again! Captain Dave was great and sharing it with my wife and daughter in the classroom and actual simulator was unreal. With both of them having a fear of flying it really helped them understand better how the... More

Had an outstanding time flying with Captain Hansen at Flightdeck in a Boeing 737 simulator. As an aircraft pilot for 25 years (Multi-engine, instrument), the overall experience with great, with multiple approaches (ILS) and landings at some incredible destinations (LAX, SFO, Hong Kong, and even RDU where I first learned to fly). Would highly recommend this as a side trip... More
