Position: Home, Kladno, Czech Republic. This is how I spend my time at a time of koronavirus crisis. I fly by Flight Simulátor. This is a flight from Honolulu to Kahului on the island of Maui, Hawaii Islands, USA. Island Lanai is in front of the window.
Large Flight Simulator one of the largest I have seen, however I am sure there are bigger ones, this is just fascinating, have to see if I can get a chance at it,( the kid plowed up the dirt right after this shot) shot in North Carolina.
The seat rails actually need to be moved about 2-3 inches to the right. I centered the seat rails on the carpeted area, but the yoke and main flight instruments are centered on the entire simulator width which is about 6 inches wider than the carpeted area ... so the seat center is slightly left of the yoke center.

Il s'agit de la réplique du Rohrbach Roland, premier aéroplane à transporter des passagers de Barcelone à Madrid, dont le premier trajet avait eu lieu le 14 décembre 1927 sur la ligne Iberia. Il a été construit en 1928 dans les ateliers Estrada de Sarià à Barcelone par les ingénieurs Fath, sous la direction de Marià Rubió. Inauguré le 23 septembre 1928 par le maire de Barcelone de l'époque, Darius Romeu i Freixa, cet avion est devenu le premier simulateur de vol de l'histoire. Suspendu par une grue à 500 mètres d'altitude, il est capable de réaliser un tour complet en 15 secondes.
The NC-131 Convair was a unique testbed aircraft developed by Convair in the 1960s. Originally a C-131 Samaritan transport aircraft, it was modified extensively for research purposes. Equipped with a variety of experimental systems, the NC-131 contributed significantly to the advancement of aviation technology during its operational lifespan.
PLEASE, NO invitations or self promotions, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks.
Both grandchildren got a chance to fly a simulator. Grandson landed it and did great, granddaughter crashed but have fun.
There was a monitor setup outside so it was possible to see how well they were doing flying the jet.
I can only assume that this simulator ride shows you what it is like riding a yak over the mountains. An unforgetable experiance, I'm sure.
The Flag Building also referred to as the Super Power Building is the largest building in Clearwater, Florida. It is owned by the Church of Scientology and was built principally to deliver the Super Power Rundown, a high-level Scientology training course intended to train Scientologists to use what Scientology describes as all of their 57 "perceptics" or senses. The interior of the building contains training suites, course rooms, theaters, and various devices intended to test these "perceptics," including a "time machine", an anti-gravity simulator, an "infinite" pit, and a pain station.
The complex occupies a city block at 215 South Fort Harrison Avenue. It includes a 15-story tower topped by a bronze Scientology cross visible from much of Clearwater. Construction began in 1998, was halted in 2003, and was ultimately resumed to reach substantial completion during 2011. The long delay in construction led to substantial fines being levied by the city authorities. The building is valued at $80 million and at least $145 million was raised by Church fundraising towards the project. The church denies accusations that the Flag Building's completion was deliberately delayed so that it could serve as a cash cow.[citation needed]
The Church of Scientology announced in August 2013 that the building would be opened to the public on October 6, 2013, with a dedication ceremony that the church estimated would attract approximately 10,000 Scientologists. However, a month later it emerged that the Church had canceled the ceremony and postponed the opening of the building. The building finally opened on November 17, 2013.
At 127,000 square feet (11,800 m2), the building is the largest property in Clearwater. It was originally budgeted to cost $24 million, but the cost has more than doubled to an estimated $50 million after repeated redesigns of the interior. According to the building plans, the Super Power Building will feature a grand lobby lined with sculptures depicting aspects of Scientology; theaters for training and introductory films; a museum honoring the Sea Org; and a separate museum honoring Scientology's founder, L. Ron Hubbard. The sixth floor will house an indoor running track for Scientologists undergoing the Purification Rundown detoxification program.
The Mediterranean Revival-style building will also contain a bookstore, a library, and hundreds of course and study rooms; with a total of 889 rooms, 447 windows, and 42 bathrooms, plus a 1,140-seat dining room and two kitchens. A 124-foot (38 m) bridge connects the Super Power Building to the Scientology-owned Fort Harrison Hotel on the other side of S. Fort Harrison Avenue.[1] In January 2012, Tony Ortega of the Village Voice published leaked blueprints of the Super Power Building that revealed architectural features including a recreation of a deck on the Apollo, L. Ron Hubbard's flagship in the 1960s.
