Delta Flight Museum — Attraction in Atlanta

The 747 experience was my favorite part.

The rest of the museum is filled with interesting relics. I really liked seeing the Northwest ones as that was the airline my dad flew me on as a kid to see him. So it's got a special place in my heart.

The retired 737 simulator, which I feel should be the star of the show at the museum, was unfortunately underwhelming. When you sign in, the waiver actually asks what city you'd be interested in flying at with dozens to choose from. But once you get to the simulator, the instructor informs you that you'll be flying from Atlanta to Birmingham. You'll get to experience starting the engines, pushback, taxiing, and take off; which was fun. But after taking off, the instructor will put you in zero visibility and windy conditions to where you have to rely solely off of the instruments the entire remainder of the flight; not the best experience for a beginner. In retrospect, it was actually somewhat stressful and I'm just now realizing that I was grateful the experience was over at the end of my 45 minutes. Once approaching Birmingham, I got off course with the runway due to the zero visibility conditions, cross winds, and being unfamiliar with some of the instruments so the instructor took over to land the plane. It felt like the instructor was more eager to take over to show he could do it vs making it a teaching moment. The overall experience unfortunately didn't leave an impact on me. It has me wondering if I would have had a more meaningful experience using the money to go to the airport near me and doing a discovery flight in a little Cessna.

I think what would have improved the experience was 1. The city I circled on the waiver being considered (or just remove that section from the waiver altogether) 2. Getting to choose the weather conditions. I would have really liked to have been able to see the horizon while flying around vs flying in bumpy stormy weather the whole time 3. Maybe even going as far as making the flight personalized for each customer. For instance, I would have rather done a local flight the whole time by just taking off, circling around, landing, repeating instead of going from one...

As someone that loves aviation this place is amazing. The 747 is full of history and so iconic, it was just amazing to get into the first queen of the skies that was built for passenger use and flew for 30 yrs she has history in every corner! Everyone here was amazing and very helpful! If you use Google maps to get here it will tell you to make a left at the very end of the instructions on how to get there but it's wrong, just keep straight for another 8th of a mile and the actual place will be on the left. You can see the hangar that says Delta flight museum. Stop at the front where the guards are, they will check your Id give you a parking pass and give you stickers that read Delta museum guest. Find a parking Spot put the stickers on yourself and walk into the brick building to the right of the first big hangar it has landing gear posts on the outside of it. Go in and the building through security get your passes and hit the 747 before you go in as I closes earlier than the building. Also they have guided Douglas DC-3(Ship 41) tours every second Tuesday of every month, for a very short time so make sure to call before and be there. This place is awesome for young ones and parking is free!!! You can also see incoming and outgoing traffic in the airport from the parking lot which is a big plus for me! There's a fully working B737 simulator in there that costs a little over 400 bucks for an hour for up to 4 people if I'm not mistaken check the website for the details and have some fun. Plan to be here 2 to 3 hours for an in...
