Yep, I once worked for Singer Link in Binghamton NY about 25 years ago. We built airplane simulators for pilot training for the military. Bombers and jet fighters. Did the video cameras and displays. This was back before the days of decent computer simulations, so we literally built scale models of the areas around airports and had small mirror and optics probes strapped onto video cameras that would move to simulate the position of an aircraft above this area. Turns out dead flys were about the same size as aircraft parked at the airport so we sometimes would place a few dead flys on taxiways and terminal buildings... And would look really strange to the pilot in the simulator...
I worked on high resolution video displays, what would be like today's 1080i resolution. 50Mhz video bandwidth RGB.
