Field Trip to Extreme Flight Simulation

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be at the controls of a Boeing 737?

This will be a unique chance to experience being a “crewmember” on the flight deck of a Boeing 737-800 Fixed Based Simulator at Extreme Flight Simulator in Gurnee, IL!  Chapter members who wish to fly the simulator will be booked first come, first serve for 30 minute slots in crews of 2.  There will be six 30 minute flights pre-booked for this experience.

Sign up to fly the simulator and play the virtual reality gaming booths at Extreme Flight will open on June 1.  To sign up for a time slot for either activity, please call Rebekah at the Galt FBO.  Cost to fly the simulator will be $40 per person for a 30-minute crew slot.  There is no charge to be an observer in the simulator.  In addition to the 737 simulator, there will be 4 virtual reality gaming booths available for us to use.  There will be a suggested donation of $10.00  per person to partake in 30 minute virtual gaming sessions.

More flights will be added if interest is beyond the initial 6 flight slots.

If you do not want to fly, but would like to observe, up to 6 additional people can “jumpseat” in the simulator free of charge.

We will hold a post flight “debriefing” at the Only Child Microbrewery that is conveniently situated next door to the simulator facility!

Contact Rebekah at the Galt FBO to reserve your seat.
