Before a U.S. Air Force pilot is trusted to fly the F-35 Lightning 2, a fighter jet that costs $100 million dollars to make, they have to log in many hours piloting this amazing simulator.
It looks like some awesome arcade game from the future, but this cutting edge training tech used at the Luke Air Force base in Arizona won't be coming to an arcade near you anytime soon.
Pilots who have "flown" in the simulator say it feels just like the real thing, but how can future F-35 pilots get the full effect without the "relief bag"?

With too many problems, bugs, and disasters, those are probably the only safe F-35 flights the pilots will have.
