Official SGT ADD thread

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

You speak my language! When I was living in Oregon, I met the owner of Lancair, was invited to Bend to take a IV-P for a test flight. Never got around to it. I also have a contact in DFW who is a trainer at FlightSafety and said next time I am in the area to look him up and he'll get me some airliner simulator time. Anyone know just how much sim time goes for? I've heard somewhere in the neighborhood of $800/hour for airliner simulators.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

According to a few of the pilots I few with briefly, if they were paying for it and not the company, it is almost double that!! But that is the one that moves, and can be programmed for anything! That info is a few years old, but I imagine its pretty close to accurate. They did say that their company owned the simulators, and "rented" out qual time to other airlines.
