AH is my first MMPOG.  Played just about every boxed sim that has come out since "Chuck Yeagers Flight Simulator" for the Commodore 64.

First flight sim was AW on Earthlink, AOL, GameStorm. Can't remember the year.

Lost interest for awhile and then stumbled across AH just before they launched the first beta ... I'm gonna be here a long long time.   :D

First flight sim was "top gun" in 2 colors, the F14s where in 3D squeletons. It was a 1 Vs 1 split screen game on an old console.

Then I went to Falcon CGA and F19 Retaliator from Microprose. (The ancester of F117).

Then all flight sims created till 3 years ago. With a lot of time on "the flight of the intruder" (awsome), and Falcon3.

First online was AW3 for 2y, then Ah since late Beta. 2 free months in WB at the time too  :)

Lets see, when I was a wee lad, there was Microprose F-15 Stike Eagle and of course Jet! on the Commodore 64.  Later on I was hooked on Parsoft's A-10 Cuba and Graphsim's F-18 Hornet on the Mac.  Then HT and Caligula came out with the first mac beta for WarBirds sometime in '96 I think.  WB was extremely addicting and I was stuck there for several years.  I played AH starting the first day the beta ended but didn't start to really like it until the jug came out.  ;)

1st Flight sim was on amber screen 15 years ago flying a "simulated" byplane across a box terrain with "mountains" on 2 sides, had a blast. Moved on to Red Baron then Secret weapons of the luftwaffe and Pacific Strike. I tried out and beat every lucas arts X-wing, Tie Fighter, & Bwing. Then I moved on to Air Warrior early '96. I played WB sometime in '97 but received a $250 bill for 2 months and decided I need food. Kept playing AW and any offline ww2 plane sim (Can't remember them all). I ended up AH in beta '99?? and have been a dedicated AH'r since.
After all this time and flying, I can now say "I auger with the best of em"   :D

Around April of 1973, my father got my mom drunk and then, 8 months later (was 1 month premature) I popped out on December 3.  Thats where I came from.   :)

Seriously, this is my first online sim.  I played all sorts of offline sims since my parents got the first family computer back in 83.  In a way, I also came to AH by way of Rainbow 6 and Rogue Spear.  One of my squaddies introduced me to AH in beta and I have never looked back (though I have tried WB and FA since... both lacked what I liked about AH or didn't do it as well).

Everyone came from somewhere...

i'm one of the AirWarrior refugees ... first came looking here early this year when EA took over AW, but quit because of the price.
now that AW will officially be pulled from the Net on Dec.6 i renewed my account.
started flying AW when Compuserve offered it in - '96 i think ... got really hooked during the massive Big Week beta scenario.

before that only off-line sims like Knights of the Sky (WWI) and F-16 on the Amiga.

I come from Fighter Duel.  Hence the FD before my name.  Fighter Duel was a unique flight sim because it had actual photo realistic instrument panels.  Can any of you tell me where the fuel gauge on the P51D mustang is?  After flying a few sorties in fighter duel you will be able too  :)

Flown boxed sims for as long as I can remember.

Started up Warbirds in 1998 when I finally had money to spare. Somehow kept it up until 2000 when I quit and gave in to AH.
