You give your location as London so why not go to the RAF Hendon Museum where they have two Black Hawk Flight Simulators? Entry to the museum is free but there is a small charge for the simulator. The museum itself is well worth a visit.

Plenty of places in the states, one from google

Jetwarbird | MIG 15 Training | Fouga Training | L-29 Training

Or the Phantom F4 sim in the UK

Commercial & Military Flight Simulators

DX Wombat... he wants to fly a jet fighter, so you refer him to a transport helicopter simulator?

Really?

Green Knight, I think you need to get back to studying your ISpy Aircraft book - unless the Red arrows have taken to flying helicopters as an alternative routine.
From RAF Hendon's website:
There are a number of rides to choose from, including:
Red Arrows - a thrilling flight with Red 7
Eurofighter Typhoon - participate in a display at an air show


Before anyone points it out, I do know that there is a clattery, whirly-winged thing which goes by the name of Blackhawk.

Yes, we know that, because you mentioned it in your first post.

You didn't mention anything about Red Arrows or Typhoon sims.

I would suggest either FS9 or FSX, both made by Microsoft, as possibilities. You can fly any aircraft you like then!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

He said dream and jet fighter

Surely there is only one answer and it isn't a sim. Look at Wikipedia:

Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation.Operates a Hunter T.8C two-seat in classic RNLAF paint and a single-seat Hunter F.6A with the original Dutch colours and markings. The Hunter T.8C and the F.6A are based at Leeuwarden Air Base in the Netherlands.[99]

Hawker Hunter Aviation.Based at RAF Scampton, it operates a fleet of 12 Mk 58 and three two-seaters (T.7 and T.8), as well as other aircraft to provide "high speed Aerial Threat Simulation, Mission Support Training and Trials Support Services".[101]

Hunter Flying Ltd.Based at MOD St Athan in Wales, Hunter Flying Ltd maintain over 15 privately owned examples of the Hunter.[102]

I pointed him to a place on the West Coast of the USA.....where you can fly in Jets and both a Huey and Huey Cobra....for the ultimate thrill ride.

A group of Brits used to come over almost every year.

One of the guys paid for everybody to ride one year....when asked why he was being such a good Mate....his reply was magic!

He sez with a big smile...."I am in the middle of a Divorce and the Bitch is going to get all my money....what there is left of it!".

I know someone who was dreaming of flying a Nimrod for an hour, woke up, and found that he had been!

When Hunter Flying were based at Exeter, they had forty one Hunters pass through their hangar. The oldest airworthy Hunter in the world WT723, a
PR-11 variant, is still with them today.

Happy days
