Your father may have postulate you encampment , or driven you to cello practice , or learn you all the lyrics to Jefferson Starship songs . But chances are he did n’t go the lengths Laurent Aigon . Over the last five age , at great expensive and after much effort , he progress a 737 cockpit so life - like , it ’s been used as a education simulator .
Aigon is not a pilot by patronage ; he ’s a server who always wanted to be a pilot . And since 40 is a little previous in biography to set out that process from sugar , he did the next best affair : Methodically order parts from the internet , at a price sum up thousands of euro , until he had assembled a ascendency jury and screen that functions on the dot the way the real matter would .
He did n’t stop there ; by attaching five networked monitors to his set - up , he ’s made it possible to simulate journeys to destinations as far - flung as Sydney and Rio de Janeiro . His copilots , presumably , slumber in the bunkbeds to his right .
AsSudouest ( via Google translate)reports , Aigon ’s work received mickle of observation outside his home ; he was invited to reproof at the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux - Merignac , which also used his simulator to train its students .
What ’s next for Aigon ? He ’s hoping to complete the five - year certification procedure need to make a career out of ramp up flight simulator . Meanwhile , let ’s desire he passes the clip by turning his gaze upward a little bit ; if his kids enjoy the 737 , just envisage how much they ’ll dig waking up to a Flight of the Navigator cockpit .
