The event allows aviation enthusiasts to get into the drivers seat of some of the most popular and most unusual aircraft in the museum’s collection.
The event, which is hosted twice a year, gives visitors a chance to sit in the pilot’s seat of aircraft that are normally not accessible to the public.
There were around a dozen jets, helicopters and other aircraft available for visitors to the attraction near York.
Take a look at some of the best pictures from this weekend’s event in our gallery.
