Life at 20 feet..

nope, you read the altitude right.
this is something tat happened in the FFS in Madrid,Spain.
(FFS=Full Flight Simulator)

The guy who drives the cab from our hotel to the sim, expressed his desire to come inside the sim and witness what happens inside for himself.
So our instructor told him to come abt 5 mins before our session ended and join us inside the sim.
The guy came along..(he doesnt speak a word of english.. only spanish)
sat inside for 5 mins.. looked at everythin in awe.. finally after our exercises.. the instructor asked him if he wanted to fly..
the guy said "Si senor"..

this guy then proceeded to fly a complete visual pattern at 1000 feet, around palma de mallorca, take off.. fly around.. land.
offcourse a qualified pilot was with him to prompt his every action..
at the end, the guy had a silly grin..and kept saying "Gracias".. "very good"...

brings me to suspect once again... are we nothing but "glorified drivers"..??
:))
PS- i shall put up pics of the FFS later.. too lazy to dload them frm my canon right now.
