20 with 45 years atleast of wrenching ahead of me. And well maybe some more FS if I can fit it in.

Finding now that the last thing I want to do when I get home is look at another airplane.

Nothing wrong with that I was about that age when I started.

My son is 10 and already an aviation freak.

Much to my delight \:D

48 and I too had a C64 with all the available "simulators" installed. Because of FS2 I, to this day, refuse to fly the Cessna.

34 here on the 10th of September (Ahh, So soon!) I've also been simming since the Sublogic days on the C64. It's what got me interested in my career--- An Airline Pilot on a Dash 8. I have around 7200 hours IRL now and the funny thing is I hate to go to work. I know I fly a plane for a living, but being told where to take it and when, well, Sucks! I like FS since I get to pick the aircraft and the destination! Much more fun than being told 'where to stick it'!

I turn 37 on the 17th September. My first sim was Psion's Flight Simulation on the ZX Spectrum in 1983.. so I was 12. I have flown a lot of different sims since then, and like Dash8 I ended up flying for a living (not for the airlines though). Dash, it sounds like you need to get out and find yourself a corporate or Pt135 gig ;). I love going to work :).

44, first flightsim was MS Flight simulator 1.0 and 2.0 (1985) on a Commodore PC10 (two 5,25 floppy-drives, no harddisk, but the uber-monitor, which could be switched from green to amber!) \:\)
