Man Buys $50K F-16 Sim Rig in Mom’s Basement, Claims He’s ‘Ready for Operation Midnight Hammer,’ Still Can’t Land Safely
AITA for wanting to ground him? My 30-year-old son quit his job, maxed out his credit cards on a full F-16 cockpit simulator he built in my basement, and now spends 18 hours a day screaming “operation midnight hammer f-16 pilots” into a headset. He says he’s prepping for a “black ops mission” and that I’m a “normie NPC” for asking him to pay rent. I found his flight logs: 6,000 hours simulated, 98% crash rate. TL;DR: He can’t even take off without doing a sick drift into a hangar. Is this real, or is this just a cry for help?
