I had booked the F-111 experience for my husband and teenage son. This was a three hour experience for a maximum of two people with a former pilot and navigator. They began with a "briefing" before being individually given a thorough external tour of the plane having features explained to them by the pilot and having a turn in the pilot's seat while the navigator took them through take off, a bombing run and landing (about 45 minutes in the hot seat).

While they were doing this I took a look around the museum - we will need to return another day as I did not get a chance to look at everything. There is an incredible variety of aircraft, both fixed wing and rotary in various states of restoration. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and volunteers happiness to help and educate people on their passion.
