How does it feel for a military paratrooper to jump out of a A400M?
Dare to make the jump!
As part of your visit to the Pegasus Museum you can make the experience using a Virtual Reality (VR) headset.
The VR gives you an excellent impression of the sensation of a military paratrooper during the jump.
A truly unique experience.
