I've been twice and had a blast both times. The sim is sick and the sonobuoy pens are awesome. I've got the poster hanging up in my apartment.

Flew it when they brought it to Corpus back when I was in primary. Pretty cool, though I overshot the runway @ NASNI like a big dawg, and had to take it around, flying under the Coronado bridge of course. I seem to remember one infamous VT-27 IP (former P-3 guy) having a hard time landing it as well, so I didn't feel so bad. Flies like a f**king Mack truck

Same thing can be said for all of the MH-60S sims...even the experienced pilots have a hard time landing it. No "seat of the ass" or visual cues to the side, which is a big deal in helos.

I visited a friend at a pro pilot school and saw said thing. so yes, I was being sarcastic.

It felt downright nimble to me, but my frame of reference is a little bit different. The damn thing's too slick for a prop puke, I couldn't just rip it to flight idle and watch the airspeed fall off...took a few passes to get used to.

The B737 is a sweet machine ... it's easy to fly.

I got typed in it during a driving snowstorm @ night @ Moses Lake, WA ... zero time in the left seat of the bird prior to the check-ride ... it's a pilot's airplane.

If you get the chance to fly it -- ESPECIALLY compliments of UNCLE -- go for it w/ gusto and thank your lucky stars.

The B737 = it is so choice. I highly recommend picking one up if you have the means ...

Did you have to walk uphill both ways to get to the FBO?
