^ I hope the Airforce did not pay $millions for that sim. You can get it for free on the iPhone :-) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/mode...639358230?mt=8

The sad (but certain) part is that you can program anything in to a computer e.g all the systems actually work!

I hope they have modelled appropriate engine fail procedures into their awesome simulator!!

I do agree, that is a bit sad.

I would have thought having all the partners on the side would have been a better look.

I'd have thought that something actually in service on time and on budget might have been even better......

I was referring to this statement
"At least they know where the attendees will be spending their time... "

Julie Bishop is intelligent, fit and attractive and as has been shown can more than hold her own against Putin
and others (as in stare down as she did recently).

I understand that a max Crazy Golf score is achieved if you loft the ball down the starboard intake ... complete two revolutions around the lift fan ... and then exit aft through the tailpipe into the hole
