I have tens of thousands of PC sim hours over the last 30 years. I'm ready for a pilot to get a heart attack on a flight any time now. Let me in there.

I just had my chance about a month ago in a trainer plane. It was incredible. Also I've had multiple nightmares about it. But I want to do it again. But it was terrifying.

Edit: Just to be clear, the pilot didn't die. I mean I finally had a chance to take the controls and see what it's like.
