<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> Sean,</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">You should come for Cockpit-Fest this May 3rd, 4th, and 5th! Matt's will not only be there showing off his sim and nifty VOR indicator, his sim will be networked to my F-4 sim and a 737 sim via Pilot Edge ATC. Matt and I have been working on interfacing<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR> transponders to make it all possible. He's also looking at installing an X-planes F-111 flight model so he can cruise with my F-4. We have general aviation headsets in all the sims so that makes for nice communications between the sims.</DIV>

<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">In case any of you missed the details, Cockpit-Fest USA 2013 is being sponsored by Spirit AreoSystems who manufactures the entire 737 fuselage and also the Dreamliner cockpits for Boeing. In addition to the special 737 exhibit being displayed inside the museum's 737, Spirit is considering bringing a brand new 737 fuselage from the factory to place on display. </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">AVSIM is also holding their Fancon in conjunction with Cockpit-Fest and we already have software vendors signed up to attend from as far away as Poland. We are having to add major internet capacity to the museum facility to meet all of the vendor internet demand. VATSIM is going to have a 15 person team provide ATC from 10 computers set up in the Fuselage of the museum's KC-135 tanker.</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">The Viperpits guys will be back and some will be judges this year.</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">No matter if you bring a cockpit or just come to visit, its going to be a great event. </DIV>
