Simulator Adventures

Manchester...

It's an out-of-reach fantasy for most people, but a new facility in Salford means members of the public can get behind the controls of a passenger plane.

​

Simulator Adventures, founded by identical twin brothers Alan and Stewart Russell utilises a replica of an Airbus A320 cockpit.

​

The flight simulator has even been built onto a moving platform, so the cockpit will tilt and turn as you bank your flight left and right.

​

Available for groups of up to three people - with a qualified pilot at your side for those with no aviation experience - visitors will be able to tailor their flight down to weather, time of day and destination.

​

You can practice taxiing, taking off and landing at almost any airport in the world, and even learn what would happen in a disaster situation.

About Us...

The Russell brothers both have long careers in aviation, having joined the RAF together at the age of 17.

​

Since then, their job roles have included off-shore engineering, piloting helicopters, and navigating search-and-rescue aircraft.

​

Most recently, Alan has flown commercial passenger planes for Airtours - now Thomas Cook - from Manchester Airport.

 

"We've both always loved planes and flying," Alan said. "We grew up in a council house in Glasgow, which was under the flight path to Glasgow airport. Although we really didn't have much money, joining the RAF provided us with a route into flying.
