Merry Christmas, and a New Year of clear skies! (Unless you are like me and enjoy IFR … in which case, may you have much interesting weather to Fly! through in 2013!)

Hi Ken! Alas that my old Fly!/Fly2K/FlyII disks don't do me much good anymore since I transitioned all of my home computing to the Mac ecosphere. I still have very fond memories of the first iteration of the sim in particular, and although I do have XP10 on my Mac, I haven't yet been able to get nearly as fired up about it as I was with Fly! back in the day. In part that's probably just me getting older and having too many other concerns, but Fly! also had a unique personality and heart that I haven't seen or felt since. And the heart's name was Rich.

It is a tribute to Rich's accomplishments in life that he is remembered fondly by so many people, this long after his passing. For myself, I can say that no year has come and gone since that hasn't found me thinking about Rich and his legacy numerous times.
