50 years or older.
« on: July 01, 2020, 10:54:22 AM »
 This post started 13 years or so ago.
 
 I hope those who responded are still here with us.

  I will turn 71 this month. Since I retired five years ago this month this game has become my go to way to get away from real life "stuff". WWII aviation has been a lifelong interest of mine. Those who know that chapter of history, know  how I feel. 

 My wish is that there are younger people who love aviation and history will embrace this game/simulation and join us old f%rts in some fun and camaraderie.

Not over 50, but I'm going on 20 years this October. Next year will be 20 for the 412th.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Broke 60 a few back and mentioned to a friends son 30, who was all "hey dave I got VR and DCS is so cool!"
Talked briefly about learning to fly a plane versus, let me correct that, DCS and AH { and mentioning I never tried DCS } and he's been with us a few weeks now.
I haven't thrown the whole AH book at him but he did land 3 last Tuesday.

There is something funny about him though, he's one of those guys who hit's things with sticks.

I was under 50, when that other thread was started, but now I'm over fifty by a bit. I'll be 56, in October.  :cheers: There are times when I am amazed I made it this far.
