Homebuilt F-15 Sim!
Here's a guy with waaay too much time on his hands: Gene Buckle has acquired fifteen feet of F-15C and is busily converting it into a working simulator in his garage!

Steppin' Out...
Dear Dr.Drill, I have a major drill problem. My squadron is continuing to grow larger. And there are a bunch of Cadets including myself that have been in a good while, we can drill and stay in step well (and on top of that are tall.) And we also have quite a few new cadets (and some older ones) that are very short. My point is, is that there is a problem with the short cadets staying in step.
