[Rhodes22-list] Gas in TN-Brad

[Brad Haslett]

Hank,

It's the ultimate video game!  The company gives away a lot of
simulator rides at charity auctions and they usually get scheduled in
ours because it is the least used.  I love conducting these rides with
non-flyers - they're always a hoot.

A few months back I read an article about a company that specializes
in training large ship Captains. They have small boats (22 footish)
that are designed with the same handling characteristics as large
ships and channels with working locks, docks, etc., designed to scale.
 All training is done on water rather than simulated.

Brad
