About SimJet Center


Once visitors take a seat in one of SimJet Center's replica Boeing and Airbus cockpits, they're pilots—almost. They can control what sort of flight they take; for example, they can embark on a gate-to-gate flight between any two airports or tackle a flight with a built-in challenge. And they can also man the fully interactive and functional cockpit controls. The resulting experience is so lifelike that it serves as pilots' license practice, in addition to an adventure for hobbyists. But there are some subtle hints that it's all a simulation: An instructor oversees from the passenger seat and—perhaps the bigger giveaway—the simulators never leave the ground.

I bought this for 2 of my granddaughters and Kelly and "Wolf" were great. Could not believe the personal attention paid to them and both the girls (16&19) are still talking about it. Even I was amazed at some of the things learned as Wolf was very detailed and explained things in a way where the kids could understand. Thumbs up for sure!

Bought this for my husband. Since there was a deal for 2, I signed up too. we had a great time. We would definitely do it again. Captain Wolf and Kelly took great care of us and made it a memorable experience.

Though I am not a licensed pilot, I have a working knowledge of the airframe that I chose to fly my simulation in. That being said, even with the small inconvenience that happened and was dealt with in a very satisfying manner, I was very pleased with my experience. The instructor, Wolf, handled me and my limited knowledge, with a grace and level of professionalism that was very refreshing, as it is all too uncommon anymore these days. After a quick test of my knowledge, we did our preflight checks and off into the "sky" we went. On the level of professionalism that Wolf showed, I would recommend this facility and staff to ANYONE. From almost any child looking for a fun and lasting memory provided by their loving parents, to a college student looking for something different and interesting to bring to their next get together, to any adult wishing what it was like to "fly" the plane that just landed on at one of the local airports. All my intentions were to see if what I had learned based on a personal computer flight simulator was enough to get me off the "ground" and "land" again with out any major disaster, and Wolf was just fine with that and was really interested in seeing that happen as well. In short, this is a great facility with a great training staff and I will be returning again to test out some failures knowledge in the, hopeful, near future.

Everything was great! Owner and instructor were friendly, helpful, and energetic. The simulator was very realistic and you actually felt like you were flying. Bring a camera or phone to take pictures and video!
