A friend of mine works for Delta running the Flight Simulators at the Atlanta Airport. Once a year, I get to go play in these things. These things are so realistic, the pilots actually gain flying hours training in them. You sit in an actual cockpit, and you feel everything they do operating an airplane. You feel every bump in the runway as you taxi down the runway. It throws you back in the seat as you throttle up and take off. They are easy to take off, but very difficult to land. I usually crash about 75% of the time. I will do the flying public a favor and stick to my P700.
I personally have flown, a beechcraft sundowner, also a few cessna 172's. Not to compare with our jets, but taking off a 5 year old could do it, landing your right, although most of the time it's done by computer, it is tough, I flew a p-71 mustang one year with my instructor in the seat behind me and I couldn't control the stick to land way too touchy, a yolk is the way to go, although the ceiling was 25k feet which awesome has hell.
Our boeings are the easiest to land according to my friend, that takes alot of balls to land blind in some cases, just trusting your instruments....Airbus on the other hand, you breath on it wrong it goes on mechanical, lol...they earn their pay IMO
