[simpits-tech] I'm so happy!

Hi Wombat,
That Mirage cockpit came from an aircraft that had extensive fire damage 
after a start that sucked in the intake covers causing a massive engine fire.
I helped to build that cockpit for display. It ended up at Fighter World in 
Williamtown for a number of years. It was sent to Avalon last year for the 
airshow and ended up at Pt Cook.
 From my standpoint, that cockpit has a LOT of potential :-) It would be an 
ideal module for our hobby.
