Will be interesting to see if they try the real thing and are not limited
to a simulator.)

Air Progress did an article on that around 1976, well, not a non pilot
but a low time private, based on the premise of Arthur Hailey's
"Runway Zero-Eight". Stuck him in a 727 simulator set up in the
middle of a flight and as I recall, he got it down just fine.

Somehow I doubt the Mythbusters budget runs to a real 747 flight...

A full-motion simulator would suffice to prove the point. If you can land the
sim, you can land the real thing. If you can't land the sim, well, at least
nobody gets hurt.
