What our customers are saying
“Great Experience at Av8rAero. My son had a wonderful time and the instruction was made fun and easy to follow. The instructor took his time and flexed the experience to meet his level of experience. We will be back again soon!! I highly encourage anyone who is interested in flying to visit!”
“CJ was very friendly and accommodating from the start. He really shows his pride and joy at what he offers. He was missing a part from the simulator prior to our scheduled visit, and did not want my son to miss out on the full experience, so he asked us to reschedule for any open time he had. He made the experience very worthwhile, challenging my son to escalating maneuvering challenges during the simulation, and offered guidance only when it was necessary. My son has practiced on other simulators, but asked to return to this one in the future. It was a great time for all of us. And we will do it again”
“Such a great experience. CJ was very kind polite and humble and very friendly. Highly recommended”
“This place is amazing for a flying experience. You could be new to flying or someone trying to explore how it is to take up to skies. You can also be a flight school student like me. The simulator experience lets you try out basic and complex maneuvers with different weather situations in a controlled environment. This translates to lesser number of hours spent in actual plane. The equipment here is new and conforms to latest standards. If you are looking for a place for a flying experience, look no further. Spend a session in this place, I'm sure you will like it.”
“I can’t say enough nice things about this place! Awesome equipment and fantastic instructor. I did the flight simulator and loved it. CP loves clearly loves flying and sharing his knowledge. Highly recommend!”
“This place is the best! CJ spent a full hour+ giving 1:1 instruction to my 9 year old son. He was so informative and supportive and provided my son with several different flight scenarios to experience. His communication was also top notch -- I wanted to get my son in for a same-day appointment, and CJ was able to arrange that within minutes of my texting him. And it's super cool that his location is at the Schaumburg airport. You really feel like you're part of it! We'll be back soon!”
“CJ was a great instructor! We booked the experience for my son’s 12th birthday and he loved it! Highly recommended!”

Aviation Trivia
Did you know?
The history of flight simulators dates back to 1910. The Sanders Teacher was an early flight simulator built with real aircraft parts. This picture appeared in the December 1910 issue of Flight magazine.
Over 30 years, a casual interest turned into a serious passion.
Passion for Flight and Flight Simulation led to Av8rAero.
Av8rAero is all about bringing the magic of flight within everyone’s reach.
Especially for those who can’t or don’t want to be in a real-world aircraft, current-day advanced flight simulators provide an extraordinarily immersive environment that replicates the flight experience.
A part of Av8rAero’s mission is to play a role in developing the next generation of aviators and aviation-related professionals.
All too often, a short experience with aviation is all it takes to seed the longing for the skies.
“And once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you would return” - Leonardo Da Vinci
