    The 777 was booked so he said i shoukd cone back and fly it sometime soon. I actually liked the 737 the best. A lot more nimble and the 757 power fought you at timea. Almost like havin a high hp car in the rain.

    He said each simulator was around $20 mil. I dont know what one costs to maintain but if i ever hit the lotto... Haha. Ill keep dreamin.

    I gotta get the video uploaded that my buddy shot of me on his dslr.

    When i got engine run certified on the F-22 we had to do it in the simulator....didnt actually get to do any flying but i did end up in the grass during an emergency procedure which is why you practice in a simulator. It was like a Disney World ride times a million.....i loved every time i got to do an engine run in the real thing.

    Very tight. Listened to a guest speaker in my CS class from a software company that makes programs for this type of setup. It was insane the amount of data & specifics for each city and airport you can choose from.
    Be about it.
