As a child, John Davis dreamt of being a pilot. He was obsessed with aviation. As he grew up, he realized he might not be able to fulfill his dream of being a commercial airline pilot because he didn’t have the mathematic skill set for it. Instead of giving up on his dreams, though, he found a way around the obstacle.
John spent 15 years and over $30,000 building a life-sized Boeing 747-400 simulator. He can “fly” without ever leaving his home.

In front of the simulator, there is a six-foot screen with two monitors, creating realistic and panoramic view.
John’s obsession doesn’t bother his partner, though. His simulator is rented out, earning them over $3,000/month.
It has “flown” over 47,000 miles.

In order to build his pride and joy, Mr Davis studied photographs of Boeing 747-400 cockpits online - and he managed to order most of the parts for the aircraft off the internet.
