[simpits-tech] F/A-18 anyone?

[A.Y.]

If I have a house....and the money...I will make that F18 looks like just a
house extension like as if it was sitting in a hanger....but then again...u
can probably build one out of wood for  "Much cheaper" :)

That will be an ultimate sim room with a life size hornet sitting
inside...then we can mount our AIM 9P replica not on the wall or roof...but
on the actual Hardpoint of the aircraft . LOL
