I know a lot of you out there are nuts about flying. It’s an expensive hobby, but someone’s got to do it. How else would I be able to get to Bangladesh? If you’re crazy about flying and I mean straight loony about it, then you won’t be afraid to learn how to fly all by yourself. Just kidding. No one in their right mind would let you jump into the cockpit of a plane without hours of experience behind a simulator. That’s where the CAE 7000 Series full-flight simulators come in.

British Airways Executive Club members have access to these top-of-the-line simulators which offer a wrap-around display, seating for a full cockpit crew, automated vocal warnings and full motion feedback. Even better – if you decide you want one in your home, it only costs fourteen million dollars to have CAE install and maintain it for you. Start saving now, because we both know that Microsoft Flight Simulator and Afterburner aren’t getting you anywhere. Neither will this thing, but it’s a better start.

If you’ve grown up with young women in your household, you’ve more than likely have heard one of them begging Santa or the super flying Rabbi for a horse or a pony. Santa will usually assure the child that he’ll do his best but when Christmas comes along, there is no horse under the tree. The little girl loses all faith in humanity from that point forward, eventually becoming a satanic lesbian. I’ve seen it happen many times.

The Ridemaster Pro Simulator is no thoroughbred and will surely still disappoint, but at least it doesn’t feature a pile of horse shit that comes out of a living, breathing horse. Users will sit on a synthetic horse model that gives real time feedback as they stare at the video courses which are built into the system.With enough practice on the simulator, they’ll one day be able to ride a real horse or at least a large dog.
