Flightdeck Visitors

During the event we have a few Flightdeck visitors, they are usually amazed at the Accuracy of the Simulator and spend a long time watching, most wanting to stay on board for the landing ... they are amazed by the Weather, the Air Traffic control which they can hear in the headsets we let them wear. The crews love to have visitors as it lets them explain their hobby and show off the parts of the aircraft.   As well as the Simulator we also show them around the flight planning and Flight Dispatch areas as well to give them an overall view of the event.

The Visitors love to have their photo taken sitting in the Captains seat which is allowed during the Cruise.

Our earliest visitor this year Was Phil who made a lot of the Lighted Panels in the Simulator,
I had a text at around Midnight asking if he could visit, I answered yes of course thinking he meant during the week and then I was astonished 2 hrs later when he texted to say he was 10 minutes away ... He had driven down from Preston Lancashire to Coventry (Around 2½hrs) stayed for 2hrs then drove home to go to work the next day !! ... such is the excitement of WorldFlight !!  ... Thanks Phil :)

Malcolm's friend Angie listens to Air Traffic Control in the Captains Seat

Martin Katie and Jan watch our "Captain Raggaman" Video in the Dispatch area

Katie (8 years) enjoys her time in the Simulator and was particularly

taken with Sunrise on the way into Curtain (Australia)

Katie (Pictured above) was so impressed with the Simulator that she told her school friends all about it when asked "If anyone did anything exciting at the weekend" ... during her visit she was so taken with our Idntity cards that I decided to do one for her and make her an "Junior Pilot"
She was so pleased she sent us two Thank you letters, one to me and one to the crew ... awww that's so sweet thank you Katie ! xx
