August 22, 201312 yr I'm 42. My simming path seems to be quite different then everyone else's. Started with the Shuttle simulator when I was around 20 for the Commodore Amiga. Moved to Train simulator circa 2000 and finally to FS98 2003. So, been at FS specfically for 10 years!

September 6, 201312 yr I have been 39 years old for the past 15 years. Spent most of my sim flying time in the combat flight simulators IL-2, Over Flanders Field, Lock On and Rise of Flight. FSX only caught on 'front and center' when I got a i7 860 in 2009, though it sat on my AMD 4200+ X2 computer since 2006. Dabbled some with FS9 even earlier on a P4 system. The only real flight time I've ever had controlling the craft was in a sail plane.

October 13, 201312 yr 68 FINALLY Someone OLDER than me Someone I met last week upon departing said: See ya old man OUCH first time, I was surprised I had noticed....but sure indeed it was a first. Those kind of things, firsties, get attention, used to be "Hi Young Man !" how come no one says that anymore, As a matter of fact they aint even interested in saying hi.
October 16, 201312 yr Moderator I turn sixty-five in January. Can't afford Medicare Part B, but since I have full VA health coverage (except for dental, oddly enough), and zero copay, I'll likely never even use Medicare Part A, much less B, C and D. :wacko: Fr.
