Holy moly, if you cannot afford the real thing, why not just purchase a simulator for a fraction of the cost.  It looks like one of the most 'Watched' items on eBay today is a full motion Helicopter and Airplane simulator.  At a whopping $10,100 and reserve yet to be met, it's an expensive investment to never leave the ground.

Generally this would be a nice addition to a typical arcade, if they have the room, but what about those wealthy kids?  Hell, if I had the dough to throw down I guarantee I'd be PayPalin some money over right now and fast since there is less than an hour left in this auction.
