'Sooner State' shuttle: Stafford Museum to display NASA simulator in Oklahoma
http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-080316a-shuttle-simulator-stafford-museum.html

A space shuttle cockpit that was used to train all of the crews that launched on board the winged orbiters has landed in Oklahoma, where it will be displayed at a museum named for a veteran NASA astronaut.

The Stafford Air & Space Museum, located in Weatherford, Oklahoma, announced Wednesday (Aug. 3) its acquisition of the fixed-based simulator (FBS), a high-fidelity replica of the shuttle's flight deck and partial middeck, which was in use for three decades at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
