Here is a piece of news that my, now former school, did yesterday to show the public what is going on when things like this happen. I think it was well done and thanks to my former colleagues for doing this...

Well...at least they're getting some use out of that "Jet-Sim" haha

Yep, they did a fast scramble to debug alot of things really quick to get this done. Our sim tech was working all morning on it before the news arrived...

For those who wonder, it is actually a 737 sim, not an A320... but it gets the job done.

I can imagine. Last time I was there, it was just a big expensive paperweight.

Wow! They have "practice planes"??!!

Those guys look like a lot of fun! Hope I fly with them one day

To be honest that video was just a few notches above watching grass grow in the excitement scale.

I think you are underestimating how exciting grass grow is in relation to this.

The media came to the local university here as well, and my roommate was interviewed.

as you can see, our sim isn't quite as extraordinary. :laff:

Did you click the video to the top right of the page for the actual news story, or did you just click the link in the story?

The actual news video is more interesting, the one in the story was just the raw footage for the sim...

Just the link in the story. I'll check the other one.
