The Boeing 737-236 flight simulator is situated right next to the R21 highway across a different view of the airport. Here thousands of trainee pilots received training to ensure that air travel still are the safest way of transport.
The simulator building is on the Comair Limited grounds with tight security, thus the chance of placing the cache inside the area was virtually impossible. The grounds serves as main offices for British Airlines and Kalula.com
The roadside micro cache is placed outside the fence of the grounds where little disruptions would take place but stealth is required. Take the time and drive around the grounds to view the simulator in full glory.
