Flight Sim 2019 - The Perfect Weekend Break!

Many thanks to all of you who came along to last weekend's Flight Sim 2019 show at the RAF Museum Cosford and to all the exhibitors who supported the event - you made it a most enjoyable weekend! This was our first two-day show and it seems that the extended format suited everyone, giving both visitors and exhibitors more space and allowing all of us more time to spend talking to each other.

Special thanks to everyone who travelled to the show from across Europe, the USA and further afield. Some of you made quite amazing journeys to join us over the weekend and your dedication really is appreciated.

Flight Sim 2019 is organised and hosted by Just Flight, in association with media sponsor PC Pilot magazine.

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. I managed to have a close look at some of the exhibits before it got crowded, and was impressed by how far the technology has progressed.

The venue itself almost upstaged the show, but not quite!
