Yeah it seem that way but it a simulator for pilots. Some pilots are cool and other are just right out strange. I'm thinking about being pilot just for domestic flight, and later work on commerical flight

Nice.
So hey IwantanS, do you work for Boeing or are you guys a pilot, if you don't mind me asking?
Yes I work for Boeing maintaining flight simulators in Renton, WA. We provide training for Boeing aircraft customers and any airlines that purchase time in our equipment.

The pic in my avatar was taken in Long Beach, CA in '05. That training center was closed at the end of '07.

I believe he works at Boeing, but if you have a "pilot" question you can ask me

Because he'll tell you <------ stupid joke I know
Most of the pilots I work with are pretty cool, down to earth people. Of course these peeps are commercial pilots. A few of them though still have a military mentality and will give you an attitude.

I worked with bomber pilots in the Air Force and tanker pilots after I separated; now they were a little different! Fighters pilots - man forget it!

It'd be cooler if Jamie and Adam were explaining what's going on. I can't watch anything in super slo-mo w/out the Mythbusters anymore.
