    Pretty cool news....would love an hour in one though!:D

    A new flight simulator will touch down in Dublin to train pilots from all over the world, it emerged today.

    Simtech has announced a multi-million euro investment to build Ireland’s first Aviation Centre of Excellence near Dublin Airport.

    The company, which currently employs 24 people, provides aviation flight simulation and aviation training for airlines and helicopter companies including City Jet, Tiger Airways in Singapore and Aer Arann.

    It expects to create 16 new jobs over the next five years.

    Fergal Keogh, founder of Simtech, said the multi-million euro investment by Simtech signals confidence in Ireland’s ability to play a significant part in world aviation training and support services.

    Taoiseach Brian Cowen marked the announcement with a tree-planting ceremony at the site of the new centre at Dublin Airport Logistics Park.
