This flight simulator has the greatest motion range of any flight simulator in the world. When the pilots are sitting inside they have 'Out-the-Window' Graphics that are computer-generated so it is very realistic. It has also been programed to generate various weather and light conditions.

I bet the poster or what ever this postcard was printed from has some great information!  Most of it is too small to read.  I can see it comes from the National Geographic Society Magazine.

This postcard was mailed from Russia in 2019.

Apollo 11's 50th Anniversary Postcard for International Postcard Week

Happy International Postcard Week - October 6-12, 2019

This postcard is to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

For this years postcard, I decided to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.  It is amazing how far we have come in 50 years!  Back then you needed an entire room for a computer, now you can hold one in the palm of your hand.

Take care,
Brenda

On the font is:
Neil Armstrong, Michael Conllins and Edwin (Buzz) Aldrin.

This postcard was postmarked with two 2019 'First Moon Landing' stamps.
