 TEAM BUILDING

Team building in flight simulators is an interesting and original idea for energising your teams and developing cohesion.
Our team of trilingual pilots (FR/NL/EN) can offer you a 'discovery/fun' package in an airliner or fighter plane, designed to give your teams a chance to enjoy themselves, get involved together and meet each other in a new way.

TOP GUN EXPERIENCE - NIGHT EXPERIENCE
299

The TOP GUN Experience at maximum intensity: the night flight.

 

Equipped with your Night Vision Goggles (NVG), you fly in total darkness. Every manoeuvre, every air combat engagement, every carrier landing takes on a new dimension when the sun has gone down and your only reference is the green image through your NVG.

 

Suit up, take your seat in the twin-seat cockpit and take off alongside a real (ex-)fighter pilot. He briefs you, guides you and takes you through a night sortie exactly as combat crews experience it.

 

From age 12.
