The homemade cockpit; 5 years in the making is so realistic that the builder has been asked to give a lecture regarding his achievement by the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux-Merignac Airport. This by far is the coolest video game ever!
According to the story from Metro, the pair have spent thousands of euros on internet orders for bits and pieces to construct the simulator – which is so realistic that the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux-Merignac Airport asked him to give a lecture on his achievement.
Mr Aigon has since schooled himself in all the procedures for take off and landing and says he is able to fly his ‘plane’ just like a real-life pilot.
He also has interest from a couple of major aircraft manufacturers who want to use his creation to simulate various scenarios.
It is unclear what Mr Aigon’s son – who sleeps in a bunkbed crammed into the corner to make enough space for the simulator – thinks of his dad’s favourite toy (and the prospect of having engineers lining up outside his room).
