Man Builds 737 Simulator In a Garage

Man Builds 737 Simulator In a Garage:
linuxwrangler writes "It started with a dream of building a full-sized jet flight simulator. Now, 20-years, $150,000 and one divorce later, James Price can walk to his garage and fly the 737 simulator he built built from the nose of a surplus 737. From the article: 'James Price had one must-have when looking for a new home -- the garage had to be able to hold the nose of a Boeing 737 jetliner.

"Once I realized I could get it in here, I was OK with the house," Price said.
