I asked this question many years ago...I was curious as to the backgrounds of all of those that love this hobby. Little did I know that that question would generate a huge number of replies for many weeks keeping that post near the top of the list for a very long time. It was really interesting to see the variety of jobs/professions and interests that AVSIM readers have. So...I'm asking again now. WHAT DO YOU DO IN REAL LIFE besides loving this wonderful flight sim hobby?I am a retired Naval Officer, retired Pediatric Dentist and currently work part-time as a Field Medical Reviewer. I gather patient treatment data from Medical Offices essentially to improve the quality of patient care. R/MikeWHAT DO YOU DO?????

54 year old real time power system operator for Manitoba Hydro in Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA. When those steel tower lines you see around the country trip out, I am the guy who pushes the button to put them back on. As high as half a million volts and down to 25 thousand volts. When the August 14th blackout on the eastern seaboard happened a few years ago, we seen a little bit of it here in Manitoba on our lines that go to Ontario. I thought there already was one of these REAL life threads somewhere?JimCYWG
