There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

My 2 dogs, fish keeping, ferrets, antiques, reading, classic American Muscle cars (can't afford the real things...so I collect the Johnny Lightning versions of them). There are other hobbies I want to engage in, but my wife says I am not allowed to...motor cycles, snakes, and spiders.

Oh, forgot....collecting WW2 era items, either military or civilian.

Wait a minute; you mean to tell me there are OTHER hobbies besides Flight Simulation? Horror upon horrors!!
Other than flight simming, I'd have to say spending time with my rottweiler, "Chief", and listening to music.

Besides Flightsim???? Well my latest obsession has been writing Sci-fi Fan Fiction. All in the Firefly/Serenity Universe. Hence my Avatar.
To date I've written over 365,000 words spread over 10 stories. All since about this time last year.
Need something to keep me occupied. Unemployment is very boring otherwise.

I was lucky enough to have met the Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff, Shalikashvili, in 1996 at NAS Whidbey. Got two of his coins. The only other ones I have are: Master Gunnery Sergeant House, MCAS Iwakuni, Japan, and a US Navy CPO coin.

back when i had a job i had hobbies. now i can't afford any of them.
aside from flight sim, i work out, and when the season here allows, i have my bicycle and i do some fishing here and there. someday, when i have a job again (and less time for hobbies) i'll go back to motorcycling and guitar.

Anything aviation. EAAer since 1979 but have been going to Oshkosh since 1970. (Mom & Dad used to go to Rockford). Dad was a pilot (He also was a blimp pilot in the Navy/Naval Reserve back in the late forties till when they were taken out of service. Have lot's of great home movies and pictures)
Don't have my license yet, but I do have some stick time and my wife got me two introductory flight lessons for Christmas that I still have to use. Just waiting for warmer weather. Also flying R/C, although that's been put on the back burner for awhile lately. Switching over to more "Parkflyer" type stuff. (Cheaper and fly anywhere)
Sci-Fi (Favorite movies: Close Encounters, Forbidden Planet, Signs, Contact, too many more)
Anything paranormal (Big fan of Coast to Coast AM. Been listening since 1997)
Music (Anything that is "good") except Rap/Hip-Hop
Grew up in musical family and have been a drummer since age 5. Played in bands and taught for years but semi retired from it in '99. My wife and I play on the worship team at our church.

I cycle, play world in conflict and watch good comedies and top gear. I also play vviola da gamba and if there's someone else who plays this or you even know someone who plays this I'm really surprised :woot:
