Matt's on a different plane ... and it's surreal
Matt's on a different plane ... and it's surreal: "For most, a joystick and Microsoft's Flight Simulator PC software is sufficient, but, over the past 10 years, Sheil has built what Guinness describes as the 'world's most expensive home flight simulator'.
A homebrew version of the $60 million simulators used to train pilots, Sheil's contraption is almost identical to the cockpit of a 747-400.
Thanks to 45 different software programs running on 14 different computers, the simulator allows Sheil to fly to and from 27,000 different airports around the world with breathtaking realism."

I doubt I'll ever fly a plane but I do appreciate them that do it and do it well!
