Some people move noses of aircrafts into their garages so that they can enjoy a flight simulator hobby. James Price is one of those people. From Zoe Francis at the Mercury News:

“In his spacious three-car garage Price has a well-traveled jetliner cockpit tucked in next to the family car.

Aviation experts say Price, 52, is one of only a handful of people in the world who have built their own flight simulator cockpit in an actual jet nose.

His dream of building a full-sized jet simulator began nearly 20 years ago when Price joined an online group of flight simulator hobbyists — folks who typically use computer flight simulator programs or build fake cockpits at home.

Price, an air traffic controller and a private pilot who’s never flown a jet but dreams of doing so one day, began buying genuine 737 parts and building mock cockpits.

‘My first couple of versions of the cockpit … were just basically made up of wood in my spare room in my house.'”
