Hello

Hi there guys,

Thought I'd just do a quick introduction of myself - funny thing is that I've been using the Avsim file library for years but have never been a member of the forum. I've been a member of the Flightsim forums for as long as I can remember since I started simming, must have been about 12 years old.

Anyway I'm 25 now, from the UK. When I was 17 I went to Australia and did a PPL over there, just to see if the flying interest was still strong, which it was. After that I came back to the UK and did a degree in Geography at Newcastle University. I then attended Oxford Aviation Academy on their Integrated course and got my frozen ATPL, which involved flying the PA28 Warrior, the PA34 Seneca for the instrument rating, and a 737-400 full motion simulator for the multi-crew course. I also got a degree in Air Transport Management.

My main attraction with FSX is the PMDG NGX, which I use to fly around Orbx's Australia scenery. Around three months ago I was fortunate enough to find a job flying the real thing. Given the economic climate, finding a job as a First Officer on the 737-800 within a month of leaving your FTO is very good indeed. So that's where my office is - I get tired with the constant training and pressure and unsocial hours but hell, there are much worse ways to spend your day, some people hate their jobs!

Think that's about it from me, looking forward to taking part here.

Cheers

Tom
