Berkshire Hathaway shareholders got something they had never seen experienced before ahead of the conglomerate's annual meeting: the chance to fly a fighter jet, virtually speaking.
FlightSafety International, a company that builds flight simulators to train commercial and military pilots, had its first exhibit at Berkshire's shopping day in eight years. It featured about 10 simulators recreating what it's like to fly different planes like the Northrop T-38 Talon, a fighter jet used by the Air Force for a long time.
For example, users can look down and see their hands on the controls as well as their legs. "This gives it a more realistic feel than just putting on a pair of virtual reality goggles," Koharik said. "This gives the pilot a better feel for the cockpit." "It was really fun," said Tom Olinger, a 67-year old shareholder from San Diego, who tried one of the simulators. "I want one for my game room."
