Couldn't resist joining in -- I just turned 87. Flight simulation has been my full-time hobby since retiring from a career in aerospace manufacturing consulting back in 1999.

And we have an even longer-term member in our San Diego SimFlite club; "Trapper" is an ex B47 / Eastern Airlines pilot. He flies a shared cockpit 757 in X-Plane; currently I'm learning the FBW A320 in MSFS. Is "age" holding us back?

Well, perhaps, but no worries: I'm finding it challenging enough to learn one sim well and, looking to the future I've abandoned previous sims and their complications; I find it confusing to recall the details of multiple simulation environments, so now MSFS is my preferred "adventure". Well, I'm certainly learning patience as well!

Like you, I live in the PDX area.  I am 73 and have built my 5th computer several months ago.  Ouch on the price of video cards.  A great hobby to have during the time of covid.  Then again, a great hobby to have anytime.
