The Cockpit Plane Simulator

The Cockpit Plane Simulator in the 1986 SilverHawks series

A trainer that teaches pilots how the Mirage handles.

A simulator for the Mirage, and it exists in the record because of what happens around it rather than what it does. The Copper Kidd is shown in the pilot’s seat, Bluegrass tries to be friendly and asks him some space-flight questions, and the Kidd gets every one of them right. That is the beginning of Bluegrass training him to fly, which pays off much later when the Kidd takes the Mirage out to recover Backlash from deep space. A training rig that turns into a running thread is more than most props in this show manage.
