Hi folks!! It’s a real pleasure to be part of SimHQ! This is the place to be for the latest and best info on what’s going on in our sim world. As for me, I’m the old guy of this bunch. After USAF pilot training, I was a pilot training instructor in the T-37 for what seemed a lifetime until I managed to wrangle a fighter assignment. I went to Vietnam in F-4s and followed that up with another tour in the Rhino in Europe. Then it was back to the States to fly the F-104 in Arizona. I went to the Fighter Weapons School, first as a student and then back as an instructor. A ‘desk job’ assignment followed that, and then it was off to Europe again, this time in the A-10. This was the best flying of my career... the Cold War was still on and the bad guys were just over the hill. I returned to the US for another two years in the Hog until I retired in 1988.

Since then, I’ve flown for TWA and American Airlines and am presently a Captain on the MD-80. My sim involvement began in 1992 with F3 and the old Prodigy group of Falcon3 enthusiasts. One thing led to another, and now I spend quite a bit of time on the forums with all your questions and comments. There seems to be a need for someone to translate real world concepts into ideas that you all can use to get the max out of your sim. I’ll do my best to be the go-between when air combat sims bump up against the real fighter world. I’m enjoying it and am looking forward to many happy landings here at SimHQ.
