Tom "20mm" Hayden
SimHQ Forums Manager and Contributing Editor

 

Hi, and welcome to SimHQ, the best simulation site on the Internet! Aw heck, just between you and me, this is the best Internet site around, of any flavor. I am very honored to be part of the staff here. I’ll help out in the administrative side, write some articles and mission reports, take out the trash, sweep up after a long day, and yes, I do windows.

My name is Tom, but most folks around here know me as 20mm. I’m an old guy who loves simming, all kinds, but especially flight sims. It’s a little known fact, but personal computers were actually invented to satisfy the human being's innate desire to fly insanely powerful aircraft from the comfort of a cushy chair in their spare bedroom. I recall the graphics in my first sim, Chuck Yeager’s Advanced Flight Training, the terrain was comprised entirely of some very large triangles. Didn’t matter, I was hooked. Since those early days, simulations and the hardware that run them have changed dramatically, and now, when I look around the cockpit, the view is spectacular. I'm still hooked!

When I’m not flying simulated aircraft, I play a little golf (or in my case, “flog”), hike, hunt, and do a little physical fitness fun now and then. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and our two mostly-grownup children. You know, there are people that spend each and every vacation going around to different amusement parks and riding roller coasters. And, although I wouldn’t mind that, I’d really love to follow air shows around, don’t think I could ever get enough of that!

Enjoy your time here and in the virtual seas, race tracks, battlegrounds, and skies!
