DC-6 Simulator (still working) at Everts Air Cargo in Anchorage Alaska. The only remaining in the world. A friend of mine has been invited to fly it and we look forward to his report/photos.

These are some of the hydraulics that drive the full motion simulator. I didn't have enough time for it, but I would like to have spent some time looking at and photographing the mechanism. It was visually very interesting.
At this year's Engineering and Computer Science orientation, students enjoyed more than hot dogs and burgers -- they had the chance to get in the cockpit of a professional race car simulator.

This view of the Atmospheric Entry Simulator shows everything except its light-gas gun, which was located behind the exhaust duct elbow and far wall. Visible from left to right are the air reservoir, test section, and exhaust duct. The test section was fitted with 12 shadowgraph stations. Note that most components are mounted on rails to allow easy access.

Atlantic Cape approved an Air Traffic Control Terminal Degree to train students for a growing demand for air traffic controllers. A simulator provides hands-on experience for the students.
This Lunar Module (LM) Mission Simulator, a large, complex device, was in operation at the Kennedy Space Center between 1968 and 1972. It was used by every Apollo astronaut to train for landing on the Moon prior to their mission. Only one was built, and, remarkably, it survived in good condition. This is a very historically significant artifact, one of the few key pieces remaining from the Apollo program.
The device consists of a simulator cabin (LM Ascent Stage with complete original interior), four large rear-projection projectors and screens mounted outside the windows, an operators console, tape-drive computers and a simulated lunar surface model and camera. Instructors, at the operators console, could introduce malfunctions into the simulated mission the astronauts were running inside. Cameras, filming a model of the lunar surface, projected the image in front of the LM windows so the astronauts would feel as if they were actually maneuvering for a landing on the Moon. Astronauts would even sleep overnight inside this device in preparation for three-day stays on the Moon. The LM Simulator was produced by Link in conjunction with the Grumman Aircraft Corporation.
