probably not, but I'm not sure what training for a fight has to do with flying a plane.   :)

Small World.  If that is made by who I think it is, then I've designed some of the equipment used on it. 

Sometimes they make little trinkets that they give out during building or when the the sim is finished (the military ones do at least), but I'm not sure I've seen any 737 ones.  If I come across one, I'll PM you about it.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that's a CAE simulator with a Maxvue visual system.  Do I win?

They need to work on their color balance.  The right projector is looking pretty purple.

Not sure about the Maxvue, but it was indeed at CAE Hoofddorp !

Hey, it was a free spin, you don't hear me complaining. He got to keep the shirt and tie, Transavia pilots don't have hats anymore (the women organizing the day did actually ask the pilots about it).

I don't think so, unless you were thinking I'm claiming to personally own a 737 simulator.  My employer owns it.  I just work on the software and sometimes fly it around.

Here's a photo of "mine", which probably looks identical to the one Level 42 was in:

Hehe. Yeah, grammatically, your statement implies you are in John Travoltas league. In which case, could I borrow some money? I'm good for it  ;D

Not in his league, but he does his Gulfstream 2 training in one of "my" other sims.   ;D
