Welcome Chris Mitchell.  I see we have the same stomping grounds, I hail
from Plano.  I, too, have been over to L3 once before.  I was helping a
buddy take some stuff over there for them.  They had the sim going and all,
but shut it down when we walked in.  Everyone seemed pretty uptight and high
strung.  Let me tell ya, from what I saw, they have got all the great toys
in there.  Top notch stuff.

What are you planning or actually in the process of building?

Jay

p.s.  I see from your email moniker, that you are a Stars Fan?  I like you
already!

Well this is my first post so HELLO GENTS and ladies
if present!
Just an FYI on L-3 I work next door to the actual
simulators in Arlington TX. I have asked what it would
take to get a ride in one and the answer was JOIN THE
AIRFORCE!!! Oh well I tried.. Most of the stuff they
make is military and classified that I know of here
but I can ask tomorow and let you know if they have a
"to the public" sales channel...
