March 27, 201412 yr Coming up to 28, my first sim experience was a program called Airbus A320 on the Amiga, which came on 2 x 1.44MB floppy disks! That was also my first own sim back in 1993. The company was called "Thalion Software". I was 24, now I am 45 years old. Very nice hobby and it is getting better "every day"! :smile: Claus KUEPPER
March 27, 201412 yr 28, and only started "giving back" to the simulation field about 3 years ago when I became a sim instructor at my last airline. I think FS got me interested in flying... or was it, the TWA terminal at JFK? 28, flight simmer since I was 13 and thanks god an airline pilot for a big carrier, but sometimes I arrive from a 12 hours duty time and the next day I take the controls of a pmdg 777/737 or coolsky dc-9 around the world. ( and thank god my girlfriend accept it, not like the ps3!) Yup, get on the seniority list and STAY and milk it!

March 28, 201412 yr I'm 33. Surprisingly few people in their puberty here, with the discussions so often flat spinning out of control I thought there'd be more in that age group. :Whistle:

May 14, 201412 yr I'm 14, flightsimming since 2 years. And it's getting more to reality Someday, when I've finished school, I want to become an airline pilot. Currently I'm learning flying glider planes I just love it!! Greetings from Germany, Florian
May 19, 201412 yr we used to get these little plastic airplanes in a box of Kellogg's Corn Flakes which were used as sim-objects in our simulated (totally in our minds) world of dive-bombing DC9s and suborbital rocketing Cessnas Guess those were the first "boxed" sim addons? Then along came FS1....wow age = over something - ish ...(beyond the rainbow?)

November 29, 201411 yr Turned 13 recently. I feel so young I've been simming for less than a year but it's amazing. Taking my simming to my career though, looking to be an airline pilot in the future - already training!
