The Virtual Army Experience (VAE-c) is returning to the 2008 Airshow!

Upgraded for 2008, The Virtual Army Experience is a virtual reality test drive of soldiering. If you've ever tried the game America's Army, you already have an idea of the experience. In the VAE, you will get a mission briefing, talk to real front-line soldiers, then climb into a real Humvee or TOW missile station and embark on your mission in authentic, life-size, team-based virtual test drive of today's Army. The VAE will allow participants to employ teamwork and leadership as they assume the role of an elite Special Forces Soldier and embark on a virtual mission to capture a dangerous terrorist leader while employing the latest high-tech equipment of the U.S. Army.

But to be honest, words just fail to do justice. This is a high-octane, pulse-pounding experience! Here's how to really see what goes on:
