I nominate Hawklore for the "geek of the year award".

but he is home schooled, he probably has no friends to take the piss out of him.

maybe we can help in his childhood education by taking the piss instead of them.

I think what he's saying is that it was built using F16 mock up parts.  To me even from the distance the seat in the sim. is an aces II.  You can tell by the downward facing pito tubes coming off the top of the headreast and the looping gas hose.  That is unmistakably the ballistic quick disconnect gas hose.

(it's kinda kewl when you can actually talk about what you know in here )

The JSF is probably too new still to have mock up parts that they are willing to give away.  This was probably a "concept" mock up.

but don't get me wrong it's cool none the less.  We use very simulare things as egress trainers in real life for all sorts of air frames.

Correct Gun,

This Simulator was made for the JSF Prototype.

When the JSF won the contract, They had to build all new simulators. So the Prototype Simulator went to storage, And they began working on the new simulators, Which are identical to what the JSF will look like when it enters service.

I never really liked Boyscouts, or Eagle Scouts or what ever...

Every single one I have met, at a reenactment at a Jazz Festival, at a Fall Festival, is Disrespectful, annoying, and won't listen to the guy dressed in modern day camo, doing security..

Boyscouts are not that good here in FL, very disrespectful, pass it on if yah like, maybe it will change..

That shoulda be donated to a museum..

you musta been horribly picked on at your boyscout meetings...
