Man Builds 737 Simulator In a Garage

linuxwrangler writes "It started with a dream of building a full-sized jet flight simulator. Now, 20 years, $150,000 and one divorce later, James Price can walk to his garage and fly the 737 simulator he built built from the nose of a surplus 737. From the article: 'James Price had one must-have when looking for a new home -- the garage had to be able to hold the nose of a Boeing 737 jetliner. "Once I realized I could get it in here, I was OK with the house," Price said. In his spacious three-car garage Price has a well-traveled jetliner cockpit tucked in next to the family car. Aviation experts say Price, 52, is one of only a handful of people in the world who have built their own flight simulator cockpit in an actual jet nose."

    But congratulations on being the second (of the only two posts) to draw an erroneous "post-9/11" link to a great aviation geek achievement.

      Erroneous link? He's making a subjective prediction, not a factual claim. Facetious, perhaps, but subjective nonetheless. "Erroneous" doesn't apply.
