GA is priceless

I have been waiting for this opportunity!

You don't get "the leans" sitting in a chair playing MSFS!

However, you might try setting MSFS up on a rotating chair-desk combo,
and having a friend spin it slowly but at gently varying rates while you
sim in the dark.

If you do that you may also want to keep some barf bags handy!

Back to the original topic of this thread for a moment and speaking to the
usefulness of GA - our company plane allows us to do things that would not
be practical without it. These days it is a major pain to take any
technical test equipment on the airlines, let alone a technical, sensitive,
and sometimes heavy product.

No problem, we just toss it in the back of our plane and head out. We have
gotten equipment sales because we were able to show up at a customer's plant
the same day and put a trial unit in place. We can also fly out to a
customer's plant on a moment's notice and on our own schedule. Our
competitors simply cannot do that.

We have also gotten sales because we could go out and pick up the customer
and bring him back to our plant for a demo. We paid for the purchase price
of our plane the first time we did this - it was a large sale that was going
to be given to the competition. The customer had already made up his mind
and didn't want to put in a 12 hr round trip drive just to see us, so he had
ruled us out. But, when we told him we could have him back at his desk by
early that afternoon he agreed to come up and we ended up with the sale.
There are many more stories like that.
