Special thanks goes to Bose Ride, who provided two simulators so attendees could experience what it feels like to ride in a tractor trailer and experience a Bose Ride chair. Bose Ride also donated two silent auction items for the event.
While it would appear that this CN locomotive simulator has been donated to Exporail, unfortunately that is not the case, as it is for sale.....

B-52G simulator cockpit on display at Castle Air Museum in Atwater, California. This is an external view of the simulator, which is built into the side of a museum building.
The outside of the simulator carries the 93rd Bomb Wing insignia. The 93rd Bomb Wing operated B-52 aircraft at Castle AFB from 1955 until 1994.
Simulators like these were used at the former Castle AFB and other B-52 bases to build and maintain proficiency at a fraction of the cost (and risk) inherent in actual flight operations.
