<DIV class=plainMail>We spent two hours in our sims tonight. Seemed like 5 minutes. It was the first time we networked all 3 sims, two F-4 and our new project, a generic F-22. One F-4 doesnt have a communication system yet but will soon. The other F-4 and F-22 could talk to each other and that was a blast! </DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>We are looking into opening a fixed based simulator center in town. IF we do, there is a real F-16A proceedure trainer (all metal) that the owner said they would loan us. I also have one more F-4 sim to bring online. That would give us 5 sims to open with.</DIV>
