Acronyms are of the Devil!
Sunday I left SGF for DFW on an ERJ with a 1:10 min. ETA. At DFW I attended an AAMS conference concerning NVG's. The FAA and NTSB were there to help us. NVG's are an awesome thing but I found out were to only be an enhancement in VMC conditions and can be dangerous if VMC degrades to IMC if you know what I mean. Now comes the ultra cool part of the whole trip. We stepped into a meeting with Flight Safety International to talk about CRM training. At the conclusion I asked....do you have any full motion simulators. A few minutes later I'm sitting in the captains seat of a Class D Full Motion Simulator for the ERJ. Full EFIS Displays and all the goodies. I flew the thing without crashing. Way Way Way cool. I've found my new calling as a jet pilot. Overall it was a good trip. I went to the airport and climbed on board a ERJ and thought....I can fly this POS.

Complex, but very cool.
