Although a bit boring, i'd thought i would post this.
Watching a programme on flight safety and fire services at airports recently, they were documenting Chicago O'Hares new fire training simulator which costs around $28m (i think).
It provides full accident scenarios for all ground crews and knocks up quite a few types of aircraft if requested. One type that they showed the fire service actually using on the simulator was an RAF Tristar on the runway of O'Hare.
Any reason why they would train using a simulated RAF Tristar? Perhaps for tanker purposes? Is the Tristar a frequent visitor to O'Hare on deployment support?
Sorry for being boring :ugh:
