Default Tour of the "Kiwi"

Thanks for the last-minute tour of the Kiwi on Friday. I'd have to say
that MS Flight Sim is a lot more engaging on the big screen. Other than
practicing instrument procedures (which I've done a lot), I've never
done much else with simulators because they lack the visual & motion
cues. With the huge screen I think you have cured that.


Thanks, Eric -- it was great to see you (and your wife and son) again!
I still can't believe you *drove* all the way from Ohio! ;-)

Just think -- you "flew" Version 1.0 of "the Kiwi". By this time next
week, we'll have Version 2.0 up and running, with a second video screen
and 10-times the processing power! You'll have to come back, soon.

If I've ever got the Pilatus over to Iowa, you and Mary are welcome to
rides,


We're gonna hold you to that!
