“The flight simulator is a huge hit at Brooks and I have students from all over the school asking to spend their lunchtime in my room to fly.
We are now using it as a station at our Brooks Summer Robotics camp to compliment the station with Drones.
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this amazing resource. It has sparked the interest of many students for aviation. “
