As a student, this simulator was just another piece of junk collecting dust at the Riverside campus at Texas A&M. The storage building itself was an old WWII hanger, and was mostly used by student groups for constructing design projects, with access to the adjacent (long-retired) runway space for testing.
The amount of legacy/surplus aerospace hardware stored in that hanger was overwhelming. I don't think I fully appreciated it at the time. Most of it is probably cleared out by now. Small world
