I retired (I think of it as a commencement) after 46 years as an anchor/reporter at WBBM NEWSRADIO in Chicago. For 36 of those years I was our Restaurant Critic. For the last 15 years I was co-anchor of the WBBM NOON BUSINESS HOUR. I have been flight simming since the mid 1980s when it all began with a Commodore 64.

I am "retired" but worked in IT from 1963 to 2005. I have been a programmer, systems analyst, IT Manager and consultant, and then went into manufacturing since my degree is in Business Management. Spent a number of years splitting my time, at the same companies, between IT and Production Management & Purchasing.

 

We (AVSIM) have a lot of talented people participating in this "hobby".....thanks to all of you for your involvement.

 

My aircraft interest started when I was young and heard about Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart!!!! :wink: :wink:

Fingerprint and DNA Technician in forensics for the past 16 years.

18 years Toyota/Pontiac auto tech, 4 years with Eastern Mountain Sports retail stores, 5 years Independent sales rep, an out of work bum, and from 2000-2015...snow groomer, snow maker, plumber, carpenter, logger, and landscaper. Sprinkled about in all those years I fueled planes at KJBC, fixed PC's, taught rock climbing and outdoor wilderness skills.

 

Geez...I guess I did have ADD after all. No wonder my brain is toast.

 

Now...retired...and I really like it, especially when I can put down the saw, brush, rake, tape measure, whatever...and pour an ale.    

Where about?  I learned to fly at the former Good Hope Flying Club in Cape Town in the late 80's.

Hi Erich

 

Am working on my GRII Instructors Rating at port Elizabeth.

Freelance journalist/writer/playwright/novelist. The pay is rubbish, but I do love the work. In my spare time, I work with my partner for her business. Usually driving and providing IT support.

I'm a long distance truck driver. Only get 2 days a week for simming but it's better than nothing

 

A look at my "cockpit".

 

Hey Kylan, nice rig (!) - as in truck - there are quite a few aviation jobs here, which surprises me.

By day I work as a classroom assistant and history specialist in a primary school in the UK, where I've done a lot of work over the years with some autistic children.

 

By night I write history books, I've been writing for 20 years, and my thirteenth, Food and Farming in Prehistoric Britain came out yesterday pick it up on Amazon ...

Hi,

 

Retired, spend my days flight simming.

Oh wow! You must be popular in the typical dinners with friends, must have some stories to tell, hehe

I am a CPA (Certified Public Accountant for those not familiar with the acronym), enjoying this fabulous time of year where I get to work 70 + hours per week. I spend most of my days doing personal and business tax returns, tax consulting, and other dandy stuff.

 

Cheers, Pete

Nice picture - did not realize how much tech was involved - great stuff

Retired, began the aviation career as a 19 year old CFI. Enjoy flight sims now and like to use aircraft I actually flew in the working days.

Hackers thrive on this kind of info unfortunately.
