BTW about 15 years ago a friend who worked for TWA in St. Louis took me to a
*real* flying simulator at their HQ at Lambert Field there, it was one of
their 747 simulators that pilots used to train on.  We "landed" at London
Gatwick...

Corporate security was pretty lax in those daze, you could not get away with
