Flight Simulators

With the Finnish Air Force Museum’s Messerschmitt Bf 109 G and Virtual Reality flight simulators, you can fly the famous fighter of the Finnish Continuation War and many other aircraft used by the Air Force in different eras.

The more traditional Messerschmitt Bf 109 simulator is located at the back of the museum’s exhibition hall in a separate darkened space. It is made of plywood and is essentially like the cockpit of a real Messerschmitt Bf-109 aircraft: the controls and the indicators are accurately modeled.

The museum’s newer simulator lets you wear VR glasses, which make the simulator experience much more intense. This simulator uses a newer flight simulator program, with the Bf 109 modeled more accurately than before. Operating devices differ in appearance from the original, but this is compensated by the fact that the view is much more accurate and covers the entire field of view, as well as more realistic modelling of Messerchmitt.

This simulator has no length restrictions, although like the old simulator it is primarily aimed at slightly older users. Similar vr-glass/controller combinations are widely used around the world in instructor training.

The sim flights are sold in 30- and 60-minute, guided experience packs (40 € / 70 €), which include short orientation and flight time. Flight days are mainly Saturdays. Simulator flights must be booked in advance via the electronic appointment booking calendar. 

The simulators are temporarily closed in August and September. The electronic booking calendar is open, and simulator flights can be booked from the beginning of October onwards.
