Wow, a full size B-1 simulator. Now *that* must be impressive!
After that I went to met up with
a fuel tanker to try and refuel. Trying to hook up with the tanker was
the most challenging part of the experience. I spent what felt like 10
minutes trying to speedup, slowdown, noseup, nosedown, left, right until
I gave up.
I've only refueled in 707's,

I guess that brings us back to the old discussion about round-out vs. flare

As for the software side of the sim, it looked and felt a lot like
