Five years and some $25,000 later, Mr. Ford's flight deck - commercial grade and fully functional yet still unfinished - epitomizes a pastime that is rapidly gaining devotees worldwide...
...not content with a simple game joystick or even a more sophisticated yoke and rudder pedals, hard-core hobbyists spend thousands of hours and dollars constructing ersatz airliner cockpits in their garages, basements and bedrooms.

That's one helluva simulator! I was fortunate enough to fly a C-130 simulator at my last base...talk about fun!
