OK so I'm sad, but it's fun....I think these shots belong in transportation....

I put together this module in my office/garage....I had the space and a weekend free so a few lumps of timber from work and a few gadgets later, my work pc is freed from Flight Simulation downloads.

Joined British Airways Virtual too....much fun to be had. Also VATSIM...and the new Squawkbox software is fully voice compatible so real ATC!!! Makes it so much more realistic to play now.

Boys and toys huh Thought you'd like a giggle.

Take care

Davey

Nice job! I've seen some of the cockpits that some guys have made & it looks like they have a LOT of free time on their hands. ;) Now, if you can just get the feedback from the stick shaker to rattle your chair a bit... :D

Great ideal and captures, but what runs the price up is getting the right "big" watch, the "fat wallet" and not to mention finding a place to cash a check.
No where else but aviation. Everyone started somewhere....:cool:

Cheers,
