What happens to old aircraft simulators?
Hi Guys,
A few months ago I nad the pleasure of visiting an organisation that had bought an old B737/200 simulator and was basically selling slots on it for non airline personnel whom were sufficiently interested in 'having a go' at landing a Boeing.
As a PPL who has flown nothing larger than a Piper twin, I have to say it was a very fascinating day, giving an insight into what it is like for those of you who are lucky enough to fly jets for a living.
My question is though - just how would someone go about buying a real simulator?
Is there a 'simulator trading weekly' magazine somewhere??!!
(No - I'm not in the market for one - this is purely out of my own interest)
Also, what happens to all those old simulators like the B707/737-200/742 that don't get bought up as well as military simulators??
