BRAVE NEW WORLD

Pilot's search for flight-simulator software spurs visit from state trooper

Julie Olearcek was looking for a computer game that her son could use to practice flying an aircraft, just like the ones flown by his mother and father, who is also an active-duty pilot. After searching the aisles without success for something that didn't involve fighting, Olearcek asked a sales clerk.
'He was alarmed by us asking how to fly airplanes and said that was against the law,' said Olearcek. 'I said I couldn't imagine that, but because (the clerk) was a little on edge ... I left.'
A few hours later, a State Trooper showed up at Olearcek's house incognito, shining a flashlight through a sliding door and tapping on the glass.
