Ya, I was a 12 Year Veteran of those Clubs back in the 80's & 90's, since I bought this house in 2000, I kinda stayed out of em', that and I took up this Flight Simming hobby in 2002.

Amazing the amount of money I saved, well kind of, Buying payware Aircraft & scenery and Computers.

lot less Drama and hassle anyway, 707's & 727's don't B**ch and have attitudes, thankfully !

my Aircrafter utility now says I have 4,867 Aircraft in my FSX Gold Simulator  :-?  :o

I must be nuts !  :-/

Dunno' if its a hobby or I turned into a collector ??
