Thanks to Michael Carter I found APHS online and to my surprise they were 20 minutes away from my house!
I was looking for an authentic yoke and column and wound up with a beautiful Captains chair as well. Youll notice the mounts on the font feet of the chair dont look right. That is because they were missing and I got a good deal because of it. The ones you see are some that I am fabricating for now. THey will work fine. Nick at APHS also gave me some extra Boeing fabric so I can make new pocket covers for the back of the seat. Nick is a super nice guy full of knowledge and his foundation is for a great cause. Check out his site if you havent.

Thanks again Mike.
Nice...
Thanks for sharing..
Nice pick!! Would love a seat like that for my sim!
Ya done good! Man, that's a nice yoke! I'm glad Nick was able to help you out. He's pretty much been my 'FDS' store for the past several years along with a couple of guys on e-Bay.
It doesn't get any better than real.
I removed the seat covers on mines (zip or velcro) and I had them dry-cleaned, they came out pretty nice! (and fart free)
Haha
Good idea, I really dont want some foul smell creeping into my cockpit mid flight!
