So I've seen. An impressive set-up. And I think it's good that you expose
real pilots to the potential of simulation. Even pilots who love to fly for
real cannot necessarily do so as often as they might like, and simulation is a
way to help hold off symptoms of withdrawal.
This is a good point WRT our Kiwi.
Every Tuesday we have "Movie Night at the Inn" where we show a free
aviation-related movie to anyone who shows up. (This coming Tuesday
is a double-feature with "Target for Tonight" and a short on the
Golden Age of Flight.)
Before and after the movie we offer free time on the Kiwi.
There are a couple of "regulars" who are older pilots on fixed
incomes. They may have lost their medicals, and almost certainly have
no discretionary income to **** away on "$100 hamburger" flights.
The Kiwi is a terrific outlet for these guys. They get their flying
"fix" each week without spending a nickel, and the rest of us get to
enjoy their company.
Is it as good as flying to Janesville for brunch? Hell, no! But the
price is certainly right.
