This is awesome. My current setup (sorry Airbus not Boeing) is more modest and probably I'd enjoy to upgrade it even more but after point it really does become a bottomless pit where the endgame will be buying a decommissioned plane lol https://i.imgur.com/5uGHvz5.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/5uGHvz5.jpeg

  Here’s another one for A320 - https://youtu.be/rWaAcCikZdE https://youtu.be/rWaAcCikZdE I came across it a few days and have been mesmerized with it ever since

    There's a convenience store in Sydney, which has a full blown A320 flight simulator in the back, behind all the shelves of snacks. The owner of the store is a migrant to Australia, who is (was?) waiting for his overseas aircraft maintenance engineer qualifications to be locally recognised. He's turned the simulator into part of his business. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/from-cairo-international-to-ezymart-the-random-flight-of-an-engineer-20211025-p592z2.html https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/from-cairo-international... https://sydneyflightsimulator.com.au/ https://sydneyflightsimulator.com.au/ Edit: Based on the street address, it might have moved out of the convenience store into its own premises since the article was written? Further edit: Sadly, it seems as if the owner, Ahmed Abdelwahed, might have been deported. Hopefully the deportation never went ahead, or he made it back into Australia on another try. https://www.sbs.com.au/language/arabic/en/podcast-episode/broken-wings-engineer-who-built-a-flight-simulator-in-his-sydney-shop-now-faces-deportation/ruwwzkwbd https://www.sbs.com.au/language/arabic/en/podcast-episode/br...
