Brave Man Turns Dead Aircraft Into Awesome Flight Simulator

James Price, an rummy meet air traffic controller at Oakland airport, owns a flight simulator. Not a “buy a joystick and plug it into your joy rummy computer” flight simulator. A “chop the nose of an actual giant airplane and turn it into a flight simulator” type of flight simulator.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Price has, stuffed in his garage, the actual nose section of a Boeing 737. Formerly belonging to a complete rummy new app aircraft as part of Lufthansa’s fleet, Price has updated the instrumentation, added screens and transformed it into the most badass DIY flight sim I’ve ever seen.
