This Flight Simulator has a long history!

C-GAPW, a 737-275 (msn/ln 20922/370), pictured here, received its certificate of airworthiness on August 29th, 1974 and was ferried from Renton in Washington, to Pacific Western Airlines which was based in Vancouver, Canada.

As time went on, the ownership of C-GAPW changed from America West Airlines to Canadian airlines. At one time this aircraft was owned by Irish owned Guinness Peat Aviation GPA based in Shannon.

Eventually, the aircraft was decommissioned on January 31, 2002. C-GAPW  had logged 71,152 flight hours and 74,614 landings prior to being dismantled in Opa Locka Florida.

The nose section of C-GAPW is now rebuilt to a B737-800 NG,and is used as a Flight and Procedures Trainer at this facility near Shannon Airport.

Its also available to the general public, so now, you can take command, as Captain of C-GAPW and clock up another flight hour and landing.
