I like simming because after 30 years I am still learning.

Besides some of the already given answers, as an ifr-only simmer, I find it very relaxing to sit back and just enjoy the views and monitor the various systems. It is also a perfect match to a glass of wine.

Much better than therapy imho...

That, right there.

Sorry.. Too busy reading the next manual in bed before getting up to reply!

It's an escape from the stress of daily life to immerse myself into the virtual flying world.

I agree, it is an escape and one that doesn't leave you with a hangover.
