Malaysia Airlines: Mississauga flight simulator stars on CNN
Piloted by Canadian Mitchell Casado, the Mississauga machine has played a prominent role in CNN coverage of the Malaysia Airlines mystery.

Hes 33 years old, he works in Mississauga, and now hes famous sort of.
He is Mitchell Casado, the guy with the hipster facial hair who handles the controls of an unofficial Boeing 777 flight simulator while CNN reporter Martin Savidge delves into a seemingly endless succession of aeronautical intricacies that might or might not shed light on the mystery of what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

The U.S. broadcaster began monopolizing the Canadian Boeing 777 simulator shortly after March 8 when the Malaysian plane veered off course on a flight that was supposed to take the aircraft and its 239 passengers and crew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The planes present whereabouts remain a mystery.
