Super Hornet Top Gun Missions!

30 Minute F/A-18 Simulator Flight Mission.

Our 30 minute fighter jet simulator sessions are designed to give you a taste of what flying a fast jet is really like. Be warned though: it is addictive!

The experience will allow you to fully experience the aircraft and the capabilities it really has to offer. Strap in and become a Top Gun.

You will be expertly briefed with a short introduction on the flight controls by an instructor in the jet, and given instruction and guidance through your flight. When ready you’ll apply afterburner and take off, learn the basics of flight, followed by some BFM (Basic Fighter Manoeuvres). The remainder of the mission may be engaging with another aircraft, or low flying, this mission will leave you buzzing. People say the time went too quickly. Time flies!

60 Minute F/A-18 Simulator Flight Mission.

Our 60 minute fighter jet simulator sessions are the real deal. You will have the opportunity to really feel like a Top Gun with a full hour in the cockpit.

Like the 30 minute experience, you will be expertly briefed with a short introduction on the flight controls by an instructor in the jet, and given instruction and guidance through your flight. 

Unlike the 30 minute simulator flight experience, we open a whole range of missions to you. With exciting sorties such as fighting an aggressor, a low level flight and bombing run, buzzing the tower (Air Traffic Control), taking on the terrain or skyline at low level and high speed, or even being the fly past for RiverFire or the Gold Coast Airshow – this experience is our best package and you will love every minute! If you’ve flown with us before we can add in formation flying, or for advanced flying air-to-air refuelling.

Helicopter Flight Simulator

Helicopter Pilot.

Captain the helicopter flight simulator to an offshore platform or ship and land. Or cruise the harbour and beach and try hovering.

Note: Minimum age limit of 18yo applies to this flight.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.

This helicopter flight is the ultimate experience in a full motion multi-million dollar flight simulator.

Not for the faint-hearted!

You’ll have a mission and simulator briefing, then take-off and fly over water to an off shore platform and land on the raised helipad. It’s a small area.

Or you can tame it down to general flying, circuits and learning how to handle the helicopter and try hovering in. (Hovering takes hours of practise in real life training, so are you up for the challenge).

There is limited availability for this simulator and there are only 2 sessions a week which may be early mornings or evenings.

Note: Minimum age limit of 18yo applies to this flight.

My F18 flight experience was so much fun, but it was also educational. With Paul’s professional instruction and guidance my F18 experience was as close to an actual live flight as I could imagine. Anyone can do it with the great instructors at Flight Rush and Air Combat Centre.

I used the simulator to prepare for a flight test. It was realistic to the aircraft I was going to fly and I could also practice night flying.

It is incredible. It’s difficult to fully describe how amazing it feels to step inside an airliner cockpit and not just see it and what happens, but actually take off and land the aircraft. There’s so much to do!
