[simpits-tech] Back Again

[Chris Woodul]

HI Brian,

I got a bunch of B-1B cockpit pics, that I took with my high res digital
camera. I also have some great cockpit pics of a T-38 and T-6A Texan II. (
amongst many others) I would post them here but I dont know how to use the
File Upload System ( a touch of laziness and besides I am a Hardware guy ;)
I have done work  for NLX on the E-2C sim programe and did a B-1B simulator
upgrade program for Southwest Research Systems ( did CDU-800, and other new
systems updates for the latest avionic upgrades)
If anyone has 20,000 dollars there is a B-1B fuselage with cockpit in
Florida for sale. I have one seat for a B-1B but I dont think wonderwife
will let me swing that kind of expendature!

Cheers,

Chris W
