OK so it was to make you jealous, neener!. When at Langley last week to 
see the sim, they allowed myself and my compatriot (he's the one without 
the hat) to give a shot at landing the 757 simulator. The visual was 
amazing. 180 degrees wide, 32 degrees up 22 down, and colimated. I had 
to keep checking out the back door of the simulator to be sure we 
weren't moving. I flew high over the runway on my first shot, and landed 
a bit long and stopped on the far numbers on my second. The "other guy" 
(who by the way is a RL pilot) wasn't able to get on the runway either 
of his passes. He said it was because I have more sim time than him :D 
Anyways, check out my WVO powered Benz named "Der Wiesel"  while you are 
gazing at my junk:
