A unique flying experience onboard a real Boeing 747 for ages 7 and up
Located at Barton Aerodrome (M30 7SA) in Manchester, we’re proud to offer the
North of England's original 747-400 award winning upper deck experience! Step aboard the
iconic ex British Airways 747 G-BYGA and immerse yourself in the thrill of flying with our state-
of-the-art flight simulation. Take control, snap a selfie in the captain’s seat, relax in a
business class bed, and explore the Doors2Manual shop.
Planning a unique wedding or event? Our aircraft and hangar are now fully licensed for ceremonies and include a licensed bar for conferences, events and birthdays.
On arrival, you’ll be warmly welcomed and meet your expert instructor. They’ll begin by spending 5 minutes or so with you going through the basic controls and instruments, getting you to handle them to get a feel for how they work and their respective actions. Following this, your instructor will programme a flight from and to an airport of your choice. It’s unlikely you will pull off the landing first time, but don’t worry, you can try the landing again. The experience can include multiple take offs, landings, some emergency scenarios or why not go sightseeing. As this is set in a real 747 aircraft and due to the complexities around using real aircraft cockpit components, the simulator is set up to be as enjoyable to fly as possible whilst maintaining as much of the realism of the flight control.
