Someone from the SST called me back earlier this week to give me the details on the final 737-400 flight. Unfortunately, I can't afford it at this late stage.

This morning I received an email offer to go on the 747 simulator and secured a spot for April. Listed as $1200 value if simply paying cash.

Only 8 days till my first flight since making it... :p

I just told them when they last called that I'm into aviation and had heard about the sim and they said they'd add me to a list.

Costs would be getting to Sydney on the day in question. Waiting for a sale now haha.

Enjoy it - one of the best things I've ever done. I want to go back and do it again, just need to find the spare time!
 
I also got the email this morning regarding the B747 sim, I was pretty happy when it says "you and a guest", so have picked me best mate to come along with me to give it a shot.

Its a darn shame they havent offered the A380 sim for free.

I did this last year with my daughter, we were to have the 747 sim experience, which was great, whilst we were there they said we may be able to get you into the A380 as well, which we did and got the chance to spend an hour in that one as well.

was a great afternoon

Thats great, thanks for sharing, there is hope that QF will do that for me too. Im all confirmed for 22nd May to do it :mrgreen:
 
Woooohooooo Booked in and confirmed for the 20th March :D Cant wait.

Apparently they have stopped doing the A380 as it wasnt as good an experience due to the FBW not having as much feel.

They did also mention the 787 Sims in melbourne may be avilable in the future once training has settled down.

Now let me see who should I take with me lol
 
I'm glad you've all benefitted :)

Just a shame we're not there on the same day... not even the same month by the looks of things :p


Thanks Sam for sharing and yes shame could have had a minio meet in the Sydney J lounge :D
