Is there a beginner's flight simulator for PCs that a smart kid can
run.

Don't know. I used to have some of the early Microsoft Flight Simulator
versions years ago but haven't kept up with new ones.

There's some free, online flight simulators that you use from their
specific website but the couple I've tried are really horrible. The
controls are not realistic at all.

You might want to call a local flight school and ask if they have
any recommendations. Some have some very good simulators now
and time on the simulator can count towards your log time in some
cases when taking flight instruction.

I doubt this will go as far as getting in a plane but who knows. I am
just trying to feed the quest for knowledge we have with our grand
daughter. She does seem to master anything she tries so who knows.
Thanks

A simulator is close enough for me. Decades ago, when I was involved in
a political campaign, one of the strategists had a single engine plane
he would fly to various meetings. He offered to fly me to the UP once,
but I said no. Couple of years later a mutual friend told me he died
when his plane crashed.

If that wasn't bad enough, when I was in DC I used printing company
whose owner had a "stunt plane," and he offered to take me up. Nope. He
ended up crashing it into a bridge.

Oh, I forgot...when I was in West Virginia, I took a ride in a copter
from Huntington to Morgantown. Copter had a controlled crash up near
Morgantown.

Can I interest you in a plane ride to Saudi Arabia?
