Flight Simulator for 'WBF?'

Just downloaded the podcast of yesterday's show, and Scott was looking for people with a flight simulator for Becky to discover if it's her forte.

They should check this out!

So does it work? As I sat in the captain's seat, the simulator - which is modelled on the cockpit of a Boeing 737-800 and has realistic engine noises - seemed daunting, but Stephen James, a pilot with eight years' experience, explained all the buttons, dials and screens in front of me. Time for take-off. There is a choice of more than 500 international airports from which to simulate take-offs and landings - ours was Heathrow. Take-off is one of the most complex parts of a flight, but I was struck by how straightforward it was, and before I knew it we were cruising at 7,000ft.
