When the world seems crazy and all you'd like to do is take yourself back to a golden time of your life, maybe you should watch this. Maybe the 80's isn't your time, but for me, it was everthing. I got the job of my lifetime, married my beautiful wife and had two beautiful children. It was a great time the 80's...

How about the late 40's after the war and the early 50s?  I spend half my day reminising.  Mostly with others my age.  Most of them are Roswell natives and grew up on farms and ranches.  But I was a city boy.  The entire city of San Francisco was a playground for my brother and as long as we streetcar and cable car fare.

For me, the 1980s were spent in the Pacific, Japan, and the Far East generally, especially Singapore. People don't believe half the stories I tell them, but the memories are mine.

Me too Paul. But a couple decades earlier. I never got to Singapore though.

I miss the 80's, it was a fantastic decade, at least for me.

The 80's were terrible! Truly the decade style forgot. It's like, you thought the 70's were bad - the 80's were absolutely shocking and yes, they were probably my heyday too. The yuppies, the clothes, the music, Thatcher! Awful decade!

I was a teenager in the 80s and have mostly fond memories of that time.

Good music, good TV shows and movies, good fun, and no smartphones or cellphones needed.

I remember my first flight simulator when I was 13, Sublogic Flight Simulator II. It still amazes me how much I enjoyed that when the scenery was so crude. You had to really use your imagination back then to make it enjoyable.

Do you really want to die on that hill?😆

Let’s set the Wayback Machine to the 1980s:

I just got to ask: does a picture exist of you rocking a mullet? 🤪

No way would I ever sport a mullet, dude.😁

Comparing the 80s to now is difficult. If I had to go back, I would miss modern tech, especially as it relates to flightsimming, as well as lots of other movies and TV shows that came out since then.

I guess I miss the way the country was back then. Can't elaborate here, but IMO a lot of things were better, apart from the crime in some areas which was pretty bad.
