✈️ THINK YOU CAN LAND AN AIRLINER?

James May gave it a go… but could you do better? 👀

We’ve all sat in the back of an airliner and thought…

“If I had to, I reckon I could land it.”

Well, there’s only one way to find out.

Take the Captain’s seat of a Boeing 747-400 and put yourself to the test in a genuine Level D full-motion flight simulator — the standard of simulator used for professional airline pilot training.

🛫 Take control of the Queen of the Skies
🎯 Get yourself lined up with the runway
🛬 Attempt the landing
😬 Find out whether you were as good as you thought…

Think you can do better than James May?

👇 THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO PROVE IT.

On Saturday 7th November, NASA astronaut Doug Hurley is coming to Cranfield, Bedfordshire, for our Autumn Space Social.

This isn’t simply an opportunity to hear an astronaut speak.
Doug piloted STS-135, the final Space Shuttle mission.
He then returned to space as commander of SpaceX DM-2, the first crewed SpaceX Dragon mission.
Two historic missions. One extraordinary astronaut.

And now, for one day only this November, you can hear those stories directly from Doug himself live in the UK.

Your £49 General Admission ticket includes:
🚀 Doug Hurley’s live presentation
🚀 Live audience Q&A
🚀 One personal autograph
🚀 Access to our space-themed exhibitor area
🚀 The opportunity to add a professional meet-and-greet photograph

Or make a full day and evening of it with our VIP Experience, including premium seating, a three-course dinner with Doug and additional opportunities. Only two VIP tables remain.

📅 Saturday 7th November 2026
📍 Cranfield, Bedfordshire

🎟️ Book your place: https://thearmchairastronaut.co.uk/doug-hurley

With our audience intentionally capped at just 200, don’t leave it too late to be in the room for this genuinely rare opportunity to meet a NASA legend in the UK.

🎸✈️ From the stage to the flight deck!

We recently welcomed three members of Czech rock band Arythmic to Aerospace Experience while they were attending the BSS British Summer School.

Inspired by Iron Maiden frontman and airline captain Bruce Dickinson, Marek Ztracený, Sebastian David and Simon Horák swapped guitars for flight controls as they took command of our Boeing 737-800 Professional Flight Simulator.

It was fantastic to introduce them to the world of commercial aviation and give them a taste of what it’s like to fly one of the world’s most iconic airliners.

Thank you for visiting—we hope to see you back in the captain’s seat again soon!
