Looped?? Heck, we were doing split s's and tried a barrel roll, we did just about the whole aerobatic experience, but we had Joe, so he wasn't even in the sim while we did that lesson, i think he went and sat in his office for a while... and yeah, the 727 knowledge really helps with learning "newer" airplane systems. If you can learn those systems, and diagrams, then you can learn any other system nowadays...
