Hi all!I work for Boeing C-17 in Long Beach. We also own this company:www.alteontraining.com I found out yesterday I get to spend a good hour and half in the full motion 717 Simulator in a couple weeks. Since I don't often fly the big stuff (though of course the 717 is one of the smallest of the big iron) I thought it would be best if I practiced some and got more familar with the panel. That way I would more enjoy the entire simulator experience and spend less time learning, though I expect plenty of that!What timing too...since we are delivering the last one later this month. Hopeing to attend that ceremony also.....The last SoCal Commercial JET.....sad times. Panel Pic included below....Thanks!JET

Hello JET, you have a pm. :)

regardsEd

You lucky "dawg". Yea, read a good article about the last 717 coming off the line there. Took some photos of the buildings and that famous neon "fly jets" sign. Any idea what they plan to do with those? Tear 'em down I suspect and make more commercial/retail space :( P.S. - Must love your work!

Means alot to many folks.Been lucky to witness many a "first flight"...C-17T-45MD-11MD-90MD-95 (B717)777 (when I spent a year up north on the 747/767 lines)Far as I know all that side is going to commercial developement. I remember in the early 90's when we over 60K employees across the Long Beach sites, hourly shuttle buses from one to another. Now where down to around 8K I think.....much smaller work force. (though on C-17 much more efficient)

Hi Jet,Can you let me know who makes a decent 'C-17' with both panels?I watched in awe when the 'Globemaster III' did it's first Air Show flight at 'R.A.F. Mildenhall' and fell in love with it.Dave T. .........On the Devon Riviera and active 'FlightSim User's Group' member at http://www.flightsimgrpuk.free-online.co.uk/http://www.captainsim.com/user/dl/c130/c130_captain.gifhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/supporter.jpg
