That is really cool! It's great to see someone doing this. I seem to recall this was uncommon a few years ago, now days it's rare.
Thanks for carrying the torch!

As a user of simulator training in the corporate world, this is exciting stuff. If we can make it accessable and affordable it will certainly be a home run. The ability to scenario-based training and do manuevers that could never be done safely in the real aircraft. The applications are endless.

While I have nothing person against Hightower, some of his decision left me scratching my head. In the end I think this will be positive for the organization. Like other, I'm amazing at how swiftly the Board reacted, but this has been probably in the works since OSH. I hope Jack takes this on full-time. I have a high opinion of him.

I'm glad to see that the Board isn't going to put up with anything less than the best in terms of it's leadership. I don't believe Rod to be a bad guy, but certainly some of his decisions were questionable. Hopefully the organization will hang on to the good things that were done and quickly discard the damaged areas. I'm encouraged by Pelton's involvement, which will hopefully be long-term.
