Well, yes. I've been sitting next to the pilot on a number of occasions. However, I never once adequately tested whether he was a real pilot, or an intricate faximilie thereof. Perhapse it wasn't the radio making his voice sound mechanized, maybe that was his robotic larynx.
It's also quite possible, knowing what we know about the governement's use of psychotropic drugs (hello, Vietnam anybody?) to induce hallucinations, that you only THINK you were flying, when in fact you were drugged and placed into the simulator in order to help the government continue with their coverup of the Apollo missions.


I'm not sure yet how They™ made it so, when I got off the "airplane" in Indiana, it actually looked like Indiana....but I'm sure the Truth™ is out there.
