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? Blue (despite being stuck under the hood) skies John |

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! Shawn "Jay Honeck" wrote in message oups.com...

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?

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 he http://alexisparkinn.com/fly-in_aviation_museums.htm -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
