Thank you, for the suggestion. I am familiar with the VR simulators. Although the technology came along long after I got my license, it is used in many flight schools today. I once had an opportunity to “fly” a commercial simulator, used to train airline pilots. They are full-motion exact replicas of the actual flight deck with incredible 180 degree views of the actual terrain you are simulating flying over. It’s fun and educational. But I’m afraid there’s nothing like pushing the plane out of the hangar, firing up the engine and watching the ground and your cares fall away. I guess I’m spoiled. I haven’t given up the hope of getting back in the cockpit someday. Everyone has to have a dream.

@texasaviatrix you’re welcome. I have seen the educational simulators used to train pilots. Take a look at the simulators with VR. You will be amazed! I have seen youtube.com videos where the pilot sits in the cockpit, starts the engine, and takes the plane out to the runway. The pilot can see the back of the plane when turning his or her head from the seat and also can view the outside from the side or front windows. I watched a pilot fly a jet from a carrier. For take offs and landings the pilot could see the controllers on the ground waving their flags. It looked very real. I also saw different countries and their airports. Planes fly low enough where you can see the towns or villages. Take a look at the videos and decide if it is something that may offer help. Hoping your dream comes true. Best wishes. Toni
