Redbird Xwind

Since the early days of powered flight, pilots have struggled with landing in crosswinds and learning proper crosswind landing techniques. That’s where the Redbird Xwind comes in. It teaches pilots the proper techniques to conquer challenging crosswind conditions. By placing pilots in gusty conditions for extended periods of time, the Xwind gives users a unique appreciation for the skill of pilots.

Your experience will be guided by a trained Wings Over the Rockies volunteer who will assist you with setup, a brief orientation and flight. Your experience in the Redbird Xwind is 10 minutes in length with a 5 minute orientation

(Guests must be age 13 or older to fly in this simulator)
