The first Boeing 707 Aircraft Flight Simulator available to the public on eBay.
San Antonio, Texas -- January 28, 2002-- IwillSELLyourSTUFF.com this month is offering a new and very different kind of product in their eBay auction. Known for bringing the Missile Silohome to us last year that sold for $2.1 Million, and the unusual AirplaneHomes, this item is also very unique and will be at auction until sold. The starting price is $5,200.
"Steve Cannaby, the owner of
Nu-Tek Aircraft found my website and asked if I would sell the very first 707 Flight Simulator ever built - serial #00001," said Donald Peters of San Antonio, Texas, whose company markets high-end products for people on eBay. Being an aviation buff, I immediately loved the idea and began work creating the ad"
The 707 Simulator was found in a salvage yard a few years ago and was restored to the historical property it is today. Larry Schurr, Craig Houser and Steve Cannaby took on the task of restoring the cockpit and gathering all of the historical documents that accompanied the system. This is one of the largest 707 historical collections in existence today -- even Boeing may not have this much historical data.

The owners target market is an aviation enthusiast that would like to purchase this simulator and donate it to an aviation museum. They are also hoping that John Travolta or Boeing Aircraft see the value this array of equipment and documents would add to their current historical collections.
Today, the Boeing 707 simulator serial number 0001 is at Nu-Tek Aircraft Instruments, Inc. located near Wichita, Kansas. It is well maintained and stored in a climate-controlled hangar. The simulator cockpit lighting is in 100% working order and many thousands of hours have been spent on the instruments, electrical, interior, and research. We have looked all over the country and have found this cockpit to be without a peer. It has been our goal to restore a significant aviation artifact, with considerable attention paid to the authentic appearance." Steve Cannaby
