Default Empty Shed in your Backyard build a B737 Sim

Man flies Boeing 737 in his backyard


That’s right, every week a group meets in an unassuming backyard to fly a Boeing 737, albeit a simulator. We uncover one of the most amazing man caves the country has to share, and get to know the person who not only built the shed, but a fully operation flight simulator inside. And yes, it has not one, but two beer fridges.

"nerds of a feather"! I love that phrase. The NG cockpit is a little TOO realistic for some us though. *shudder*

There is a B737 and a B747 in Perth, not to mention the 2 B744's in Sydney.

Or flying shoebox. Also the Shorts 330/360s were called a shed or box and even the "Irish Concorde."
