At 18, she still tells people about when her dad broke the wing off the plane. I guess the other flights just weren't memorable enough!

I used to work in a computer shop, building clone computers and repairing.. and they had a little second location in a shopping mall where they just had a sales guy and 4 computers and software to sell.
On saturdays the sales guy alway asked me to be there to do small repairs on the fly for walk in customers.
But mostly because he wanted me to sit on one of the demo computers loaded up with Flight Simulator 6 or 7, cant remember what version it was, it was in the heyday of W95-98..
All I had to do , was fly the Extra on the biggest Monitor we had.
And do acrobatics.. I had a Sidewinder pro with stick rudder built in.. And my piece the resistance was to to fly the length of the runway inverted, do snap roll, and yank the stick up for a nice vertical pull..let it come to a near vertical 0 speed, and do a hammerhead..
People would walk by the store and come watch.. kids would beg there dad for a computer.. dads would buy it.. but not for the kid but well the wanted the flight simulator for themselves
I sold a chit-ton worth of computers by playing MS flight sim
