Nonpilots Can Fly Jets with "Fly A Sim"

Offering a joy ride in a jet flight simulator is a challenging proposition according to the owners.  Privately held Parameter Aviation, which does business as Carrollton-based Fly A Sim.com, spent many months obtaining approval from several government agencies.  Fly A Sim offers the everyday guy or gal the chance to feel like they are flying a real jet.
Parameter Aviation, incorporated in 1997, leases multi-million simulators that are normally used for actual pilot training.  The Fly A Sim event currently takes place at Flight Safety International, located near DFW Airport.  The full motion, full visual and full sound simulators, certified by the FAA, give customers the thrill of being a pilot without the risk.  The Fly A Sim simulator events start at $299.00 which include a preflight briefing with your instructor prior to actually flying the simulator.
"Many of our customers are ‘pilot wannabes’, guys or gals who always wanted to be a pilot or see what it is like to fly a jet airplane.  Some customers are retired pilots, microsoft flight simulator pilots or radio controlled model airplane pilots.  The majority have never flown an airplane at all, they have a lot fun and do very well.
The Fly A Sim event is sold by Gift Certificate, most often for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays and other special ocassions.  Local DFW corporations in the know provide the exciting Fly A Sim experience as a team building event and as corporate rewards for those top achievers.

Hi everyone! I LOVE your show!
Last year I gave the Fly A Sim to my husband for Christmas.
He is really hard to buy for and this was just the thing!
He never suspected at all!
I wrapped several boxes-each with a clue:
First: A Captain’s Hat
Second: Captain’s Bars
Third: A Toy airplane
Fourth: Directions to DFW Airport.
Fifth: The Gift Certificate itself!
He was amazed.
My husband used his certificate a few months after Christmas.
He flew as Captain along with our son Kyle as Co-Pilot.
It was awesome to see his face!
He had always wanted to fly.
This was his Dream come True!
I think I know what he wants this Christmas too!

Thanks!
