"We have used the flight simulators from Flight Avionics since we opened in 1998.  They have proved to be a very important part of the USS Hornet Museum experience.  From day-visitors to live-aboard groups to corporate dinners, there is always a line of people waiting to 'take a ride.'  Our relationsip with FANA has truly been a WIN for the USS Hornet Museum."

-Ralph Johnson

"The F/A-18 simulator experience with Flight Avionics has added a great deal of interactivity and realism to the aircraft carrier experience for our guests.  Once you've walked around the flight deck and explored the rest of the ship, there's only one thing left to do and that's to launch and recover your Navy jet from the flight deck.  That's exactly what our guests get to do with our Flight Avionics simulator and they love it!!"

-Mac McLaughlin
President/CEO
USS Midway Museum





"Thanks to Flight Avionics, our customers can experience history in a whole new way as they rock, pitch and jolt their way through a simulated reconnaissance mission during the 1945 Battle for Iwo Jima in the flight simulator.  Our overnight guests even come back in the morning and participate in a thrilling Desert Storm simulation.  The equipment is reliable and state of the art...it has been great working with Flight Avionics.

-Troy Collins
President/CEO
Battleship New Jersey Museum & Memorial





"For the past 6 years, Flight Avionics has done a terrific job generating additional income for the museum."
