PENGUIN FLYING

I always wanted to be a pilot but never could really. So this interest led me to Microsoft Flight Simulator (thanks to my uncle). I was able to indulge my passion for the skies and to fulfil my dream of being a pilot... virtually speaking of course, I'm not so deluded in so far as thinking its real. It allows me to have a hint at what could have been. I don't have the money to become a pilot (cost thousands and thousands just to get to fly the small planes) for one thing and ah yes I'm red-green colour blind (or so they say). Some people may think its strange to 'fly' on your computer, it may well be but I don't care but still I don't like to tell too many people (and definitely not strangers) what my hobby is. What I like about flight simulator so much is the variedness of it, from bush flying right through to airline flying. I myself prefer airline flying. The planning, the procedures and of course BIG jets. Other people go out, do outdoor activities but I like sometimes to sit for a couple of hours and plan a flight (you have weights to balance, fuel to calculate and routes to plan) and fly it so between London and Milan for example. Here is a list of the last five flights I've done:
Paris to Milan
Nice to London
London to Bilbao
Glasgow to London
London to Hamburg
I know what your thinking "sadoooooooooo", maybe your right but I'm not harming anyone else and I enjoy it. But I think the best way to explain my world is to show you, so I've added a few pictures of my game. The flight is from Princess Juliana International Airport on Saint Martin Island in the Caribbean to Saint Barthelemy Island nearby. Click on the airport names to see a picture of the real deal. The flight is short and sweet and shows off the best scenery available for flight simulator, which is the Saint Martin package by FlyTampa.

There you have it, my hobby. I hope you like the look of it. I will continue to talk of it so get used to it haha!
