Almost a year at my new job, still loving it.

Article about the first simulator I built for ACS in Havasu city.
Life-like simulator helps would-be pilots, those looking to brush up - Havasu News: News

I am very into aviation and I also like to build things. The company I work for is like an IKEA and a FRY's store got together at an airport. Plus the simulators have to have about 40 hours on them before they leave to work out any bugs. That is a whole work week of (sim) flying.

@ Zeke, if you have not made it to Mira Mesa and are coming down during the week I can give you a demo in our motion helicopter simulator.

I can unequivocally state that I am alive today because of the training I received in well done flight simulators.

It happened exactly in the real world as it did in the sim...a godsend.

Good for you Sandy. How is your son?

The younger son is doing what he can. The baby's due date is today actually.
Jason (middle guy) is in the middle of his training for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle. He has gotten faster and stronger and learned a whole new language. Now I know what my family went through when I learned Navyeese. Thanks for asking.
