Our History

Our simulator started life as a Boeing 737-247 registration N377DL for Delta Airlines, delivered on April 15, 1987. Being the 1077th of 1114 built, it was one of the last 737-200 models delivered by Boeing. It was, however, the last of its kind delivered to Delta Airlines.

N377DL flew for nearly 18 years for Delta airlines with no major incidents or accidents until, on April 13, 2005, it was struck off the register, never to fly again.

The story of N377DL doesn't end there, the aircraft made a final flight to the scrap yard. Several years later the founder and owner of GoSimGo awarded the forgotten Boeing another chance at life, not in the skies; but simulating flight for future budding pilots wanting a chance to experience what N377DL experienced for over 18 Years: a chance to fly.

The nose section was delivered to Ottawa after 6 days of travel.

The first phase of the project was officially started in September 2011. At the end of the first phase, the nose section was completely emptied, and all wires and mechanical components were removed for further renovation and maintenance.

Visual system construction started.

After a few months of successful tests and additional tuning, the SIM is finally ready for operations. The SIM is leaving the production location and is on its way to Gatineau Executive Airport for operations.

The SIM has taken its place at the new Airport’s executive hangar #4.

The Visual System and the SIM enclosure (DOM) installation has started at the Gatineau Executive Airport

The GoSimGo simulator’s enclosure installation in progress after a few days.

The GoSimGo simulator’s enclosure installation is 80% complete after a few days of work in Gatineau Executive Airport.

After some preparations and the final test, the GoSimGo simulator is ready and you can now book a flight!
