33, with wife and 4 kids.

Aircraft dispatcher by trade.

First sim I had was a 747 sim my dad got when we still had 8088's (I wish I could remember the name of it.) Not much to look at, but like a drug dealer, he got me hooked at an early age.

Wow!

I am from Hamburg Germany 28 born in Vietnam and just finished with my service in the German Air Force (which is not much....hehe).

I find the mails possted here to the age of simmers really intersting. I have just bought Falcon 4.0 I know its late but hey better than never at all.

So once I start practicing I hope to meet more of you wonderful people out there.

That is if time allows because I work as an IT-Consultant an travel alot. Did parachuting during my service time and alot of helicopters.

greetings from Hamburg Germany

53 (in 2 wks). Amazing responses. Ages from 15 to 63? Flew little planes and scared the crap out of myself a few times. In my blood I suppose but the dollars and regs forbid the kind of flying I like to do. Soooo, sims. Lots of sims but only one at a time.

I think F4 is here for a while. It will take a full year just to become proficient. Happy New Year pilots whoever and wherever you are.

40 till April.......

We ran a similiar thread in a MS CFS forum recently....same demographics...average age of 41.

Bought F4 and CFS together last October while waiting for my first PC (well, did have a Vic20 for a while. All my PC stuff has been work related) to deliver. Got CFS nailed, scratching the surface of F4. Married ~15yrs, with 3 Boys, 10, 8, 2. And they all love Aircraft. (The last one has an aviation link, he was conceaved after returning from the last MCAS El Toro Airshow. We hid behind some buildings near the runway and stayed to watch every last plane depart in the darkness, F-14/F-16/F-117/ and one by one the Blue Angels. Full AB up close. We will never forget that night obviously and miss the sound of F-18's we would hear daily. The Base closed for good last year. California took a large hit of base closures )

Holy Mackrel! I thought I was too old to be doin' this stuff. But seein' some of these "advanced" ages here sure makes me feel better.I can now say " see honey, see I'm NOT the only one!" I'm 40, married (For 20 years!)........Atleast she lets me still get intouch with my inner 16 year old! And I have one seven year old boy who likes to call me "butthole"........Probably learned that from Duke Nukem or something....

Hey Blur, that "F16 game on the Mac" was the original Falcon sim (few PC folks know it came from the Mac). We've come a long way!

24, turning 25 in may. My girlfriend doesn't mind me simming, as we probably wouldn't have been together if I was a real fighter pilot! (On the other hand she thinks that building my own cockpit is a bit erhm well... nevermind...

Been simming since 1987 and still love it!

Oh and no kids btw. Don't want any for another 10 years atleast! A kid can't raise a kid you know!

Hmmm.... this topic has been resurected. That's great. I didn't have a chance to post here the first time. I'm 31 and single. I'm also a college graduate (history) and unemployed (loving it - but it will not last).

JANES: Hire me to do your cockpits please .

I've been simming since F-15 Strike Eagle (1984).

Hey Jason,

Are you really only 14 or are you pulling our legs? At 14 you may be the youngest person to have posted here so far.

Sorta funny to see the ages of some of these people and think back on some of the messages they have posted. Some of these kids have all the worlds problems solved, or so they think. As did we older ones at one time. 37 here.

I was 47 last week. Been flying sims since early Spectrum days. I mostly fly WWII stuff (good old seat of the pant flying). But I am starting to warm to the jet sims.

24, working on master's degree in aerospace engineering - rotorcraft aerodynamics. I've been simming ever since Stike Eagle and F-19 on the C64. Currently playing USAF (for fun) and F4 (for REAL). I can't believe the age ranges here! Pretty cool. Makes me feel a little better that I won't be a weirdo for simming as I get older.
