He's flying without wings! Father builds Boeing 737 cockpit in his son's bedroom While many air-plane enthusiasts are content to keep their hobby confined to shows or miniature models, for one man this was simply not enough. A French father has instead taken his obsession to an extraordinary level - by building a Boeing 737 flight simulator in his son's room. Laurent Aigon has spent five years lovingly replicating the inside of a cockpit in the bedroom - forcing his son to sleep on a bed crammed into the corner of the room. Out of the way, son! Laurent Aigon used his child's bedroom to build the 737 cockpit Such is the quality of his work that has been invited to lecture at the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux-Merignac Strap yourselves in: The father has transformed his child's bedroom into his own personal cockpit The 40-year-old, from Lacanau in south-western France, has meticulously collected the pieces to build the simulator, which makes the user feel like they are thousands of feet up in the air, the Metro reported. Mr Aigon is a waiter who has always aspired to be a pilot - and now he has made his dream come true with the simulator. Such is the quality of his work that he was invited to lecture at the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance at Bordeaux-Merignac, which also used his simulator to train its students, Gizmodo reported. Hold on to your hats! The father has lovingly recreated a Boeing 737 simulator Mr Aigon is estimated to have spent thousands of euros recreating the cockpit of the jet The 40-year-old has meticulously collected the pieces to build the simulator, which makes the user feel like they are thousands of feet up in the air Attention to detail: The waiter, who has always wanted to be a pilot, built his project in his French home He has installed monitors to simulate flights to Brazil and Australia - although it is unclear whether he has managed to convince anyone to act as an air hostess to bring him refreshments on his long-haul 'journeys'. He is estimated to have spent thousands of euros on his passion, buying expensive parts so he can produce a lifelike version of the inside of the plane. The father chose a popular model to recreate, as the 737 series is the best-selling jet airliner in the history of aviation. The 737 has been continuously manufactured by Boeing since 1967, it was reported. And he has, in his own unique way, contributed to the traffic in the sky as there are, on average, 1,250 Boeing 737s airborne at any given moment, with two departing or landing somewhere every five seconds, it is estimated.
