I had been told for decades that there was a flight simulator that used a Singer System
Ten and that United Airlines operated it outside Chicago for some unreasonably long time.
This was "Urban Legend you wouldn't believe it but that's what the bosses
wanted" stuff back in the 1990's. Using a business computer (especially one that
looked like an overgrown Frieden calculators from the 1960's) to run a flight
simulator always seemed odd to me, to the point of making the story not quite believable.
Other Singer-Link flight simulators that I knew of, used GP4's or Sigma-5's and
then the Sigma-5 clones.
