Yes, Buba, Flight Simulator, and no, I don't have a pilots license yet. Need to get some stuff out of my way, like, perhaps, some credit card bills..

Re: My hobby...

I tried that game a while ago. Didn't like it. Got super bored of flying for like 3 hours straight.

The cool part is that you can fly basically anywhere you want.

Yes, but I guess in my old age my knowledge of cultural references is slipping.

Re: My hobby...

I notice your are running Microsoft Flight Simulator, ever tried FlightGear? It is an open source flight simulator. I have been using Microsoft Flight Simulator myself for years but, I am in the process of setting up a Linux box to run FlightGear. They do have a version for Windows as well.

It may not be quite a polished as MFS just yet but, there are some very interesting aircraft including several Military Jets such as the Harrier, F16, Mig-15 and even Santa Claus and his sleigh

Re: My hobby...

My neighbor is a pilot for Phoenix Air. He took me up in a small plane about a month ago and buzzed our houses...fun as all get out! You really do get a whole new perspective about things from "up there".
