The legendary Boeing 737, a narrow-body aircraft, completed its first flight in April 1967 and entered service in February 1968 with Lufthansa. Since then, a total of 15,099 Boeing 737s have been ordered and 10,926 delivered. Yes, some of these aircraft have been converted into private jets, but the cost to do so is reserved for those with a net worth in the hundreds of millions. However, one aviation enthusiast has created the next best alternative.
As you can see, it fits snugly in a standard room and the enclosure itself is powered by a PC connected to a multi-monitor setup. One thing to note is that the cockpit was not sourced from an actual Boeing 737 aircraft, but rather various electronics manufacturers, including Flight Deck Solutions and Sismo Flight Simulators. How much does a setup like this cost? A minimum of $25,000 USD just for the flight sim equipment, with the PC cost not yet factored in.
