They lived the experience ...
... C'était "Mission Top Gun" pour moi. J'ai vécu une expérience absolument merveilleuse du début à la fin. Accueil au top, les pilotes sont hyper sympas, très cools et ont beaucoup d'humour. Le vol était totalement incroyable, tout y est : les sensations, un réalisme époustouflant et le pilote fait vraiment tout pour que vous puissiez profiter au maximum de la mission. Je conseille vivement d'emporter la vidéo de l'expérience : souvenirs et frissons garantis lors du visionnage à la maison. Bref, je n'ai qu'un seul conseil à donner : allez-y sans hésiter !!! Encore un énorme merci pour tout
...L’accueil est hyper sympa et assuré par un véritable pilote. Pour les novices, un briefing détaillé est proposé au départ, ce qui permet de se familiariser avec les commandes. Une fois dans le cockpit, on peut choisir son aéroport de destination : tout est extrêmement réaliste. Toute la famille a adoré ce moment unique. Un grand merci à notre pilote, qui nous a appris énormément de choses et nous a fait vivre une expérience inoubliable !
