These are shots not really of a Sim, but for our Sim Techs manning the C-130J device at Keesler I wanted to show everyone what they had to go through on Monday the 29th of August, 2005. Photo is a shot of the Thrift shop and one of the water towers on base. The tree in the forground is probably around 6 to 7 feet tall, this part of the base is probably around 15 to 20 feet above Sea Level (or was prior to the storm surge). The second shot is the Base Commissary. These were provided by an officer at the base and is apparently driving a tractor trailer to get above the surge or a 4x4 of equal height. The condition of the Sim is currently unknown and so far not all of the crew has been accounted for. I've several more shots and as soon as I can get them to Andy for downsizing, I'll get them posted.
