Well, since my dad is a pilot and my friends dad is a pilot and works at the simulator, me and my 2 friends went to try it out. It was pretty much the most awesome thing ever. We were shooting hellfire missiles and blowing up buildings and cars. It was like the real thing. I was pretty much the best pilot there, but it was so much fun. I have some pictures of my flying, but they don't really show much of the simulator, but it's still really cool.

The rudder pedals are the hardest thing to get used to.

Everyone can have hobbies and interests.

Imo the simulator looks cool, quite lucky to get a go on such an expensive and exclusive piece of military gadgetry. If you wanted to become a helicopter pilot when older, and had high-aspirations of flying, why would this be such a bad thing to do? Hell I'd take the opportunity and I'm a bookworm with no military or aviation ambitions at all. Do pilots not get "much action"? Did you ever watch Top Gun? The shower scene? My God.

...been in several simulators, tho never a chopper, and never even got close to a 64 Longbow package...
I'll bet you enjoyed the hell out-a that

oh wait, maybe thats what that shit eating grin on your face is from hehe

maybe a stupid question, but was it powered up? It looks as if it wasnt...nevertheless, a cool time to be sure.

my bad, just re-read the OP...
powered up it was then, good times I'm sure.

Yea, it was powered up. My friends dad works it so we got to fly around and what not, though we couldn't do any of the maneuvers his dad could do. I did a barrel roll at like 500 feet and crash lol.
