Studley - thanks for doing these wonderfully complete reports.
One thing I might add. For those whove never seen a simulator (I hadn't), even from the outside, they're pretty impressive. Picture a 20 foot by 20 foot metal room, held a full story above the ground by 6 large hydraulic pistons. When the sim is turbulence or landing gear problems, or whatever they were doing, those puppys really bounce around - I'm sure way worse than most earthquakes.
Great meeting everyone.
