Hooray for the absolutely worthless purchase ;D

I wouldn't reccomend using it for a simpit.. looking through a piece of glass, at another piece of glass sounds difficult.

Unless you're using an LCD moniter.

Maybe Cessna 172 or 182, I don't know what it's value is but maybe sell it on Ebay or something if you don't want it might get some cash out of it. ;D

LOL- at first I thought it was a storm cover for a basement window... ;D

Looks like a Cessna, all right... one equipped with "skeels" at one point, from the message stuck on there. I'm thinking smaller than a 172... maybe a 140 or even a 120. But it's hard to say.
It seems to be in pretty good shape, in which case it's worth some decent money... I agree that it would prove annoying as part of a simpit- you'd have a hard time with reflections, I think.

IM inclined to say its a 185, but it might be an older 140.  Definately a cessna tho

Some of them yes, and I believe that is what our window is out of :)
