I've always been in love with airplanes and aviation in general. My parents use to tell me stories of when I was 3 years old and I would act
like a crazy monkey everytime I see an airplane. They used to take me to the airport on weekends sometimes and apparently I would
prefer that to any other normal baby activities! Sometimes I wonder if this karma thing could really be right about this previous life thing!
Anyway, enough about that...as soon as I had my first pc, the first thing I loaded on was FS4 or 5, not sure exactly. Soon after I started
taking real lessons at the city airport, In Napoli Italy, which is not that small I'd say...now they even land 747's. Very nice commercial traffic.
I finished with some italian licenses and got the hell outta there. Moved to L.A. and got my USA licenses and now I'm studying to become
instructor.
What was the question, again?
Oh, I see...what I wanted to say before I got lost in my youth memories is that if it wasn't for flight
simulator I prolly would've never even start flying for real! Now that I am some kind of a pilot, everytime I have a chance I fly for real but it's not always possible. So FS9 keeps me from becoming a crazy monkey until the next real flight! I also used it a lot to train for my IFR and to kinda keep current...
And since it will probably still take long time until I can fly a real 737, FS9 keeps my dream alive and burning
