We recently enjoyed a visit to this highly educational and very entertaining museum with our grandson and granddaughter. The highlight of the visit was the opportunity for our grandson to "fly" the flight simulator. He did barrel rolls, loops, touch and go, and landings. His instructor, Bruno, was wonderful, even pointing out landmarks that we were flying over; and presenting the "pilot" with a certificate. We all learned a great deal about the history of flight through the various aircraft. Thank you, Bruno.
