Wrong, at least as far as I'm concerned. Based on my age alone, I'm certainly not the typical gamer with a somewhat secondary, passing interest in aviation. I wouldn't hold a real-world pilot's license if it were so.I just don't happen to be overly enthusiastic about anything vintage. If I want to fly old stuff, I can go to my local flying club. They've got a nice assortment of old russian fighters, biplanes, and what not.As for the PC simulation, I'm more interested in learning about the multi-million-dollar computerized stuff that is flown in todays commercial world and which I personally will probably never get my hands on.But that's just me.Anyway, denying anyone who doesn't stand frozen in awe when spotting a DC-6 or other relic of that time the title of "aviation nut" is a litlte presumptuous ;)
I never said it was a "rule". Simply an observation that I can almost substantiate.Anyway; as a true aviation nut, I can tell you that just about every facet of aviation piques my interest. VFR, IFR, 121, 91, big, small, new, old, slow, fast... The fact that I get even more excited over "relics" of the past (which pioneered everything we have today) is understandable as --again-- I'm a true aviation nut. Not only do get excited about and show respect to the "old junk", I fantasize flying it! If the smell alone of the inside of an old, vintage (the word I want you to use from now on) aircraft doesn't get you worked up, I question your "aviation nuttiness".BTW, I'm very presumptuous! You must be relatively new here!
Loved the post. Spot on!
