Be a Pilot for an Afternoon

Jun 07, 2011

There's something alluring and romantic about soaring through the sky. What man doesn't dream or wonder, at some point in his life, what it would be like to fly an airplane? They flock to airshows, they play flight simulator video games, they watch movies and they tour museums. Most of them will never have a chance to actually fly an aircraft, but what if you could give them the chance to sit in the captain's seat?

Based near the Vancouver airport, Flight Adventures™ is North America's first aviation retail flight simulator experience. Modeled after the Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft, your man will have a chance to experience what it's like to pilot a commercial aircraft.  With a qualified instructor beside you, you'll have the chance to sit in a $20 million dollar cockpit, attempt engine failure, bad weather and landings. There are several different packages available including The City Adventure, The Airline Pilot Adventure and The Ultimate Adventure, so there's an option that will fill his little heart's desire.

Packages start at $139 for 30 minutes and go up from there. For the next two days, SwarmJam, one of Vancouver's online group buying sites, is offering The Ultimate Adventure which is 120 minutes in the simulator as a Father's Day gift. Regularly priced at $359, it is on sale for 54% off at only $165. Great deal!
