MaxFlight Corp., the company known for its Roller Coaster, Bob Sled, Monster Truck, and FS2000 simulators, has installed a squadron of 15 of its FS2000 Flight Simulators at the "At the Controls" gallery of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in Washington, D.C. The FS2000 achieves the goal of education through entertainment and allows riders to create any kind of ride, from mild to wild, or sit back and enjoy a pre-programmed flight experience. Museum director General J.R. "Jack" Dailey, said, "Simulators have long been an important element in flight training. By re-creating the flight experience as realistically as possible, we hope to offer a learning experience that is memorable and fun."

MaxFlight is seeing increased interest in its simulators for pilot training, museums, science centers, and discovery centers. Company president and CEO Frank McClintic said, "There is no limit to the kind of software we can put in. We are only restricted to the past, present, future, and to the far reaches of the imagination. Guests can now simulate the very freedom of flight, and the glory of the human spirit so profoundly on display at NASM. The wonder of yonder is at hand, and, finally, a full sensory, high-tech part of the museum experience." For more information, call +1 (732) 281-2007; Web site (www.maxflight.com).
