>>I used to work for Singer Link-Miles (have I told you this before?) in Sussex, bespoke sim company. I actually got to "fly" a real sim: Airbus A300-600 - flight deck, 6-DOF motion system and all - took off from Geneva, flew around a bit and brought her back in to land. Strangely, in the middle of the flight the motion system crashed (not me) but I never even noticed.

>>This was a rare occurence to get to fly and was one of the perks of doing Saturday overtime, and being in the right factory building at the right time.

>Nice! I got to fly a real F-16 simulator in Homestead Air Force base as part of a VIP group invite, about 6 months before it was destroyed by Hurricane Andrew (1992). They only gave me a few minutes but it was awesome.

F-16 destroyed by a Hurricane? Well it wouldn't have stood a chance against a Spitfire then! :-)
