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.
