About 20 years ago when I was learning to fly in a PA38 I was given a 3 hour session in the British Airways B757 simulator at Cranebank.It was a thankyou for a job we had done for them fixing a sim that had come off the jacks. I managed to take off, fly around New York, including flying between the two towers of the WTC at about 80 degree bank with the instrument panel lighting up as we did.( Little did we know what would happen all those years later.)Also managed to make a reasonable landing back at JFK.As I was the only one of us who flew at the time the instructor then told me to sit in the right hand seat and handle the gear , flaps and call out the speeds for all the other guys while they had their turn.Great fun.
