Welcome to the BOEING 747 SERIES hangar of the Speedbird Center of Excellence for online flying training.

Your Training Captain is BAW 175 Lee James

This section is constantly under development and will be added to on a regular basis. Our aim is to eventually provide full information on the Boeing 747 series aircraft as operated within the British Airways Virtual Fleet in order for you to fully appreciate the complexities of real world flying, and to help you gain more enjoyment from your flight simulation activities.

Contact the 747 Training Captain for advanced training requests.
