The boys and girls were equally interested and totally excited by the simulator experiences, the lifejacket demonstration and the viewing of the planes. To cap it all, they even took photos for me and emailed them on afterwards. Cannot praise the team highly enough. We will be back.

The staff are all enthusiasts and their passion and willingness to share is obvious. Highly recommended - thank you all.

The people who work their are so passionate... read more about what they do was lovely to see. From the start they were great with the children letting them dress as pilots and our youngest a captain where they could then play in a plane. It is very small but we spent a few hours here and the children didn’t want to leave. We will be back when we return to Shannon.

  Went to the first week's summer camp and I learnt a lot . Jane and Eddie were very friendly and helped with any questions. Flying the simulators was very exciting,... read more in the BA 146 and 737. In the summer camp we went to the Air Traffic Control tower in Shannon airport and we went to the control center in Ballycasey. I really recommend this to anyone.
Thanks very much Jane and Eddie

We got to compete against each-other on the flight simulator. Then my boyfriend did the 737 take-off and landing which was actually amazing; it was the cockpit of a real 737 and he got to use the same controls a real pilot would use. The experience was very realistic.

Then they demonstrated the inflation of a life vest and we got to keep it afterwards!

There's also a museum with some retired airplanes from several different countries, some are former war planes.

Most of all, the people running it were just brilliant. They were so knowledgeable (they're all volunteers - it's a not for profit organisation). One is a pilot, the other a former member of the US Air Force. They really took their time explaining everything and you could feel the love they have for all things aviation.

A really fantastic and enjoyable day out.
