OH my gosh, it really looks real.
You are good! Real good.

I was surprised when I sat down at the controls of the FedEX 727 simulator.
It was so Cessna 172 in its instruments.
I had no problem taking off or landing, except.
I touched down about 500ft from the end, applied brakes and reversers, then.....
We started to wander right and left, no problem, differential braking stopped that.
Then the instructor said, when are you going to lower the nose wheel to the ground?
I had never sat that high in an airplane.
