Very very cool . . . the one thing I didnt see in the picture was the
USB cable for me to connect my PC to so run Flight Simulator 2004
(smile). Was it perhaps on the other side of the device?

Is it in working condition?

It might not be practical, it might not be a good idea, but it could work.
Sort of like Windows.

There's another one that looks just like it in Rantoul, IL, at the
Octave Chanute Museum. They let you climb around inside it and
everything!

I want it! I wonder how much my 'lectric would go up if I got it working.

Having had a chance to fly a BUFF sim while a cadet, I can say the things
bomb better than they handle. They roll like pigs and the engines take
forever to spool up. (course, it was 18 years ago, I wasn't a pilot then so
didn't really know any better, and still don't know anything about flying
jets). I did better as a bomb nav than I did as a pilot. Crashed on
landing on two attempts but got the nuke right in the pickle barrel!

Well, I was a flight sim specialist in the air force in the 70's. This
would be a great toy to have. Comes complete with a visual system, I
can't tell for sure if it has a motion base though. I install a C5 Sim
fresh out of school, not a project for anyone with out allot of
experience. But it would be fun in the end!

No kidding, I did my Sim training there in what was White Hall. They
had an F4 and some instrument trainers at the time. Is the runway open
at Chanute to fly into for a visit?

Awhile ago I flew the KC-135 flight sim at Pease. It handled rather
nicely as long as I took into account swinging a few acres of wing to do
making for a few over controls. 135s don't like being rolled at 2
kilofeet. The FB-111 sim was more fun, but I had a lot less time on it
so I never did get the hang of it. I have some on the F-4E Sim at Hahn
AB and F-15 and C-130 sims at Eglin. If some rich person wants to by me
the F-15 sim I'd be happy to let them :)

The one sim I wish I could have flown was the A-10.

Apparently some people are bulding flight sims with cockpit parts from
various sources like e-bay. I'd like to know how realistic a home F-16
would be.

Yep! It's called Chanute Air Museum now, and they have an outstanding
collection. Admission is absurdly cheap, and you can taxi right up to the
door.

It's one of the "fly-in museums" we've listed on our website here:

Heh, when I was in flight training out of Lebanon NH, we flew down to
Pease to land on that HUMONGOUS runway. It's only the one runway, but
it is just huge.

We were on short final and there was a Comanche in front of us that
had apparently just touched down, but we almost couldn't see it, it
was lost in the hugeness of the runway.

The tower suggested that we turn off at a taxiway 3/4's down the
length of the runway. The instructor told me to add power and "taxi"
in the air over the runway until we about reached it and then land and
turn off so that we didn't spend so much time putting along on the
runway.

We taxied back to the beginning of the runway for our takeoff and
launched. I think we nearly reached cruising altitude before we
passed the end of the runway. :-)

I just checked online for the runway length, 11,321 by 150 feet.
Sorta swallows you up when you're on it.

So, can you fit it into one of the Suites?

I always found it amusing to see aero club airplanes on bomber and MAC
bases use the main runways. They always look so tiny. Some air bases
like Langley limited the li'l planes to the first half of the runway
which makes me wonder if a big airplane has ever landed as a li'l one
was starting take off roll.

Negative. But you could easily fit a hot tub in the sim!

So buy the Sim, park it out back, and install a bed and a bathroom. You
can name it the BUFF suite (after Montblack).

Why don't you give BOb U a boost and see if you can succeed where I have
failed and get him to come and perform another muzzleloader miracle. I
think one more and he can be put up for sainthood.

Nah, it isn't the weight. It is the less than 5 gallons of "fuel" that is
the problem.

We'll be at Pinckneyville.

Unka Bob is a stubborn old fart and he says he's not going to attend. I
suggest hiring deprogrammers to kidnap and brainwash him.

5 gallons of "fuel" is 20 pints.

A carefully conducted scientific test established that my "fuel"
capacity is considerably less than 5 gallons. Witness were divided
whether I stalled and spun or entered a spiral dive. I only rememember
a very unusual attitude before I crashed into the ground.

Further tests with alternate "fuels" were cancelled.

Actually, his GROSS weight is still the same. He manages to
get below 254 empty weight because he's full of it :-)

I know that isn't the problem with Oysterhouse. You don't even get ONE
gallon in him before it starts leaking out!

Tell Unka Bob to get a ferry permit and arrive a couple of days early and we
will get the RV-3 back into annual! :-)

Besides, if he doesn't make it one of these years I am gonna stop stopping
in Kansas when I go west!

This is not the first time that I've been told that I'm full of it. In
fact I've been tohat so many times that I think there must be something
to it.

There was ALCOHOL in my "fuel" ? THAT explains a lot :-)
