What happens to old sims?
Well, like stated above, some move down the food-chain, others are being donated to flight schools for a juicy tax write off.
I flew an old Pan-Am sim last year that was built in 1971, with over 100,000 hours.
It did not fly good and was a challenge to land when transitioning from non-precision approach to visual. (600 feet, then line up with rwy: Too sensitive in roll and the visual part did not keep up. Had to go back to the gauges to get things straight again. Wow.)
I belive the old TWA 747-100 in JFK was offered for sale for about $1 mill a year or two ago. Don't know who bought it, but it was
a good machine and flew better than the old Pan-Am box.
