When I was about eight years old my best friend’s father was a pilot in the Air Force. He was stationed at the now-shuttered Castle Air Force base, and for months my friend and I begged him to take us to there to play in the fight simulators. We figured it’d be like the ultimate video game. He finally acquisced, taking us there one rainy Sunday afternoon. It turned out to be pretty boring actually, since a real flight simulator was a heck of a lot more complicated than anything we’d played at Countdown, the local arcade. We just wanted to shot down simulated MiGs, not flip switches and try to fly level. Anyway, someone with a lot of time on their hands is building a complete, full-sized Boeing 737 cockpit flight simulator in their garage.
