Some excerpts from His Excellency Tweeting’s :

@EdwardOakden:
Final one in this series: showing how far & rapidly simulator technology has advanced, from almost all manual below to almost all high tech today from @L3_CA Photos are the 1st commercial simulator,for a Boeing 707, used by His Late Majesty in 1960 @tradegovukJOR @UKinJordan

@EdwardOakden:
This & the next are for flying enthusiasts only. This is what it feels like in a top-of-line @L3_CA Airbus A320-200 simulator approaching a well-known airport on one engine after a bird-strike on final approach: v calm & apparently normal (we made it!) @UKinJordan @tradegovukJOR

@EdwardOakden:
This is the 3rd example I’ve seen in 3 days of where Jordan’s future competitive economic edge surely lies for the next generation: to operate as a regional platform providing high value-added goods &, especially as here, services @tradegovukJOR @UKinJordan @L3_CA

@EdwardOakden:
JATS’ great motto “Learning to fly never ends” could be applied to learning generally. Here I was under the expert instruction of Captain Zuhair Ghaibeh, w/over 30,000 hours in the RJAF & @RoyalJordanian ,learning to fly the A320-200 Airbus from @L3_CA @tradegovukJOR @UKinJordan
