Flight Simulators at the Washington DC National Air and Space Museum

The National Air and Space museum has some flight simulators which, for a fee of $8 a person, allow you to pilot your own plane place which can turn upside-down. The objective in the game is to shoot at other planes (within each game, not between the simulators, sadly).

Well worth trying out. Amazingly, for something I would have killed for as a kid, there was little or no line for the flight simulators when I was there (on a Saturday afternoon too!).

Each simulator seats two people (a pilot and a gunner).



There is also another simulator which is not controlled by the passengers. It simulates a kind of space roller coaster, or a selection of fighter planes, depending on which one you choose. This one is $7 a pop.
