Damn! This is just freaky. I bet the people on this plane were peeing their pants, I know I would have been.
Guy Builds $30k Flight Sim… In His Bedroom
I used to be into Sim Racing and had friend who spent about $300 on plywood and an old seat to built a Sim to mount his wheel into, took him about 8 hours. John Davis of Conventry, UK did just a little bit better. He spent nearly 8 years and $30k to build a Boeing 747 flight simulator in his home. Can you say INSANE? We’ll not really. Davis turned his passion for his hobby into a business and now runs a flight simulator business from his house.

Dude Builds Homemade Helicopter Out Of Bicycle, Car Parts And A 747
Now here’s an enterprising fellow. A 24 year old Nigerian Physics undergrad built himself a helicopter out of bicycle parts, car parts and a crashed Boeing 747.
The chopper… is made from scrap aluminium that Abdullahi bought with the money he makes from computer and mobile phone repairs, and a donation from his father, who teaches at Kano’s Bayero university.
It is powered by a second-hand 133 horsepower Honda Civic car engine and kitted out with seats from an old Toyota saloon car. Its other parts come from the carcass of a Boeing 747 which crashed near Kano some years ago.
