I was able to reserve a few hours with a Boeing 737 simulator. I have been able to get hours in some pretty cool simulators thanks to the Navy but I have never been able to get to a commercial simulator. Looking forward to it in a big way.... If you have done one, how was the experience?

Awesome! I have a couple of united pilot friends who do both the domestic and international flights. They say it's pretty boring until something goes wrong.....

And when they were young.....the stories were true....
 
Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back in the day I would sit in the very front seats and watch them do their work. It was awesome and then those asshats on 9-11 f'ed it up for everyone..........

I agree... it was quite the view looking through the cockpit doors for a night approach. Looking forward to hearing a report on your adventure!
 
I was in an airbus professional simulator once briefly, pretty cool, even though the motion was not on.

That would be cool as they come with a stick :) I get a chubby listening to the growl of V2500 engines on a 320 during takeoff............... Maybe I fly to much for work.....LOL

The best ever for me was when I got to sit inside the cockpit in a D9 when I was about 14 years old. That was freakin awesome!

My bug bit because of my dad. From my very first flight i knew I had to get my pilot license..... My only regret was that I didn't go commercial but it was not in my cards growing up.....
 
I enjoyed flying in the back seat as a crewchief and tried to wiggle sticks in helos for the army but didn't make it. my baby girl's grandpa was a pilot in the Swedish af and for SAS. now I just follow SpaceX and dream of watching humans make it to Mars someday.

I just want them to say they have found life on mars........... It will change our existence as we know it....
 
Reading you guys makes me remember the Russian Antonov AH-124 that landed at the Airport at my city in 1992. By the way, is a short track and they made it, that monster plane did it
