this.  Now I know.  Like I said, what a cool hobby.

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.  I can identify perhaps
*one* of those devices.  I'm guessing the little round CRT is for radar. 
That's it!  Somewhere, someday, some flight sim zealot is going to break

As in 3 EIA/TIA racks fulla computer kit ?  Daaaaamn son.  That's what you
call a passion for your hobby.  Hopefully, being female she has less
problems with her SO freaking out, but who knows, perhaps she married an OCD
butler.  It's tough to escape the laws of the universe sometimes.  :-)
