GCC, Right - for further useless info from me, I think it was the -336 (?), and the reason that they had to use a real a/c at PIK was that our sim was out of order 'coz us useless Sim Engs couldn't fix it

(the drum was stuffed and we had to wait to get a new one from USA). Took a while, so pilots had to do their checks on the "real thing".

We did send a couple of our guys up there to recover anything useful from it; quite a few instruments etc that could obviously never be used on an aircraft, but were able to be cleaned up for the sims!
