mnewbery Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 He said real-world training exercises, using a series of jets pitted against once another, are expensive, and increase the risk of an adversary monitoring and evaluating pilots ... or stealing parts off the crashed aircraft. I think nothing will replace the noise, the heat, the smell and all of the other senses that the people on the outside of the aircraft experience during exercises. Not sure a simulator is going to help that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
