Hi guys,
Thought I'd share an experience had yesterday that was fantastic and just another shining example of how truly amazing our hobby and its members really are. Yesterday I had for the first time a visitor from a fellow sim builder who frequents our forum his name is PaulG. Paul showed up yesterday at around 4pm and I had just finished one of my Tactical Martial Arts classes so I was still in uniform when I greeted him and I think he was a little taken back for about the first 3 seconds and then after a hearty handshake we hit it off like we had been friends since secondary school. He flew in my sim (A340) we talked about building, swapped stories, ideas, concepts and opinions and the time literally flew by faster than my 340 in cruise.PaulG is also a real world private Pilot from UK and is very knowlegeable about all things aviation as well as a very creative and inovative builder indeed. He's truly a die hard builder hes got the startings of a 767 in oner room and a fighter jet in the other.My lovely wife kept us constantly supplied with fresh coffee and goodies as we just sat for hours flying and talking. For those interested in my A340 panels they are now gone..Paul saw them and said I'll takem!!! Wheres the nearest ATM?. LOL I ended up giving him a bunch of other stuff to him as well to help him along, me thinks another Boeing builder has been converted to the Darkside,another A340 is born :)Phil ;) may have a taker for that spare set your making LOL Anyway PaulG and I finally after hours of flpping through aviation photos on the web of other pits and drooling over amazing setups wishing they were ours :) LOL we said our good byes at about 230am LOL and my wife just looked at us smiled shook her head and went to bed. ooops she had to be up for work at 6am and so did Paul :) Thats what I love about self employment :) Overall it was one of the most awesome times I ever had and I believe paulG felt the same. i think he enjoyed my sim and has invited me to come and see his setup next. So that looks like it'll be the next chapter. anyway just thought I'd share this with you guys just to show a great example of how truly amazing our hobby really is in bringing ppl together and finding the best in them. To PaulG thank you for the awesome visit to my sim and your friendship and I look forward to many more years.:):)
kind regards
