BETHESDA, MD — Westfield Montgomery shoppers can soon "take to the skies" in Dream Aero's new Boeing 737NG Flight Simulator.

Starting Wednesday, wannabe pilots can climb into a real cockpit and try out the hyper-realistic flight simulator.

"The flight simulator accurately reproduces every aspect of a real flight, with you behind the controls. While flying in adverse weather conditions might be a challenge for beginner pilots, one can master basic elements of the flight, such as takeoff, landing and following a flight path," according to Dream Aero's website.
