AVweb Short: EBACE 2008 — Where Everyone Can Fly a 787
One of the most popular booths at EBACE 2008 has nothing directly to do with business aviation, but it’s attracting crowds of people. Boeing has put up an elaborate flight simulator with controls approximating a Boeing Business Jet and a wide screen depiction of the ILS to Nice, France. Most people who try it, like this fellow, do a pretty credible job of planting the virtual 787 on the centerline. … EBACE flightsim Boeing aviation airplanes flying
Should I become a Pilot?

so here is my story. I’m 20 years old and I work as a baggage clerk at Newark Liberty International Airport. Everyday I get to see airplanes take-off and land. I find myself staring at them from time to time. I always had love for aviation. I play flight simulator on my computer all the time. but now I’m thinking about becoming a pilot. But there are alot of things holding me back. If I want to fly for american airlines i need a 4 year college degree. I just got my ged, and I failed the college placement test for my community college. So now I’m taking remedial classes. I am planning to become a radiologic tech. It’s only a 2 year program, and I can expect to earn a pretty good salary. I told myself a thousdand times, forget about becoming a pilot! It’s expensive, long hours away from home, dangerous, and the pay sucks when you are just starting out! But I always seem to find myself searching for flight schools. so what should I do?
