USA.gov just released fresh statistics about what people are most looking for at their thousands of web-pages. No, it is not jobs, not even passport and visa information. The most popular are the Government’s Auctions pages: GovSales.gov. You can buy all kind of goodies there including FLIGHT SIMULATOR, MFR:RYAN INTERNATIONAL MDL:PC-ATD (Condition used, repairs may be needed). So far there are 9 bids and the price is at $335. Sounds reasonable I guess if you want to learn to fly airplanes while sitting in your basement. Read the rest of the post here

I used to work for a couple of companies that built those kinds of aircraft similators.

The power requirements are were relatively massive. A typical home basement would have to have a significant amount of rewiring. And the resulting electric bill probably would be far above a normal home electric bill.

Thank you for the expert information. I was not aware of that. I was wondering if this can get into the hands of some wacos.

Instead of mech. bulls in clubs, one of these might
be a good way to get people into a club.

Sounds like a good investment for someone with a theme park or amusement park — adapted to rent by the hour.

This is a very creative idea. Government selling stuff does create business opportunities!

Is it for some old airplanes?
