We’re excited to unveil two incredible new Max Flight simulators—high-tech, full-motion experiences that let visitors twist, turn, and roll like real pilots. But what truly sets these simulators apart? Their custom exterior wraps, designed to capture the spirit and excitement of aviation through bold, iconic imagery.
✈️ Top Gun-Inspired Helmet Wrap
One simulator is wrapped in a design inspired by Top Gun. With bold stripes and a reflective visor that captures the glow of a nighttime aircraft carrier landing, this design gives a nod to the high-stakes world of naval aviation. While the ride inside isn’t themed to the film, the striking visual makes it a must-see (and must-snap).
💙 Blue Angels Helmet Wrap: Pensacola Pride
The second simulator pays homage to Pensacola’s aviation heritage with a design inspired by a Blue Angels pilot’s helmet. The wrap features a visor-style graphic showcasing the Blue Angels soaring over Pensacola—including a view of the National Naval Aviation Museum, connecting the design to our local roots and the awe-inspiring legacy of these elite pilots.

These helmet wraps were created to spark imagination and celebrate the love of flight. As Humberto Amaro, Exhibit Design Manager and the artist behind the wraps, explains:
“We wanted to tell a story and create excitement just from looking at it. We wanted it to connect with people and their love of aviation and their passion for the Blue Angels, which inspires all of us.”
