So glad none of this is classified because it's COOL! :)

	Looking down from the Flight Sim platform
	Flight Sim side rail
	Flight Sim control room
	This antique analog computer is still used for flight controls The engineer who showed it to us says when the old man who keeps it going retires or dies, they'll have to replace it with a modern version.

nah..... i am not even sure my 8086 will turn on .... it has been in storage since before the millenium LOL....... and storage means at my parents place which is a 9 hour drive away.... somehow when I get there, there is always more important stuff to do than check if it has really survived...... as long as I don't check I can believe all is well LOL LOL LOL

of course, you could probably mount the drive in a newer computer!
