✈️ WHAT A DAY AT BLACKPOOL AIR SHOW! 🤩

Yesterday we headed to the Blackpool Air Show with friends — and, as you can imagine, being aviation mad, we absolutely loved it! ✈️🔥

From incredible low-level passes to the roar of the fast jets, there’s just something special about watching these aircraft flying right over the seafront. 🌊✈️

It got us thinking… if you love aviation as much as we do, you really need to experience what it’s like from the other side of the cockpit. 👀

At The Deck 747, you can climb aboard a real ex-British Airways Boeing 747 and take control yourself in our full-flight simulator. 🧑‍✈️🛫

Blackpool gives you the view from the beach…

The Deck 747 puts you in the cockpit. 😉

Who else was at the air show yesterday? 👇

Every experience is tailored to the individual and delivered by one of our experienced instructors. There is no fixed itinerary and no expectation to fly the simulator. Whether you’d like to explore the cabin, spend time on the flight deck, experience the simulator, ask questions, take photographs, or simply enjoy the unique surroundings, we’ll adapt the experience around you.

💙 Choose from:
✈️ 15 Minute Discovery Session
✈️ 60 Minute Experience

Every booking includes:
✅ Exclusive use of the aircraft during your session
✅ A pre-visit email, with the option of a telephone call to discuss any requirements
✅ A relaxed, flexible approach with no pressure to complete specific activities
✅ Visual communication cards available, with guests welcome to bring their own communication aids
✅ Access to both the Boeing 747 passenger cabin and flight deck
✅ Optional additional experience time, participants and spectators (subject to booking conditions)

We’re incredibly proud to add this new experience to what we offer and hope it helps make visiting The Deck 747 even more accessible, comfortable and enjoyable for more people.
