Airline Captain For A Day
 
I'm going to Las Vegas just so I can do this. :p Wheeee!

Airline Captain for a Day

In one of the videos, a customer points to all the buttons and asks "how long does it take to catch on?"

Horrible video/editing/music. Really!? So easy a kid could do it? and at least land on the centerline at the end, jeeze!

Pre 9-11 we had a tourist deal like this at UAL. I was instructing then and really enjoyed doing these tours. The people loved it and it was a lot fun to show them around.

Vega you can go to Austin Tx and fly a Red Bird FMX all for the cost of calling. A few airline pilots hopped in them and said they were very good.

I did this back a little more than a year ago, which was very early on in my PPL training. Had a great time of it, and might've learned a thing or two.

I definitely recommend it.

Pictures from my experience should be available at:

They used to offer the same deal in a Saab, but to make it realistic, they heated the cockpit up to 130 degrees and the computer crashed.
