New Member From North Carolina!!

Hey, ya'll!!

As I mentioned in another thread, I said I would properly introduce myself and so here we go....

My name is Tony Trout and I'm 38 y.o. and have always been a flight-simulator fan but never tried it until I played X-Plane 9 on my IPad2 and I loved it even if I did crash most of the time!!!

Now, I'm seriously hooked on flight simulation games and flight simulation and even R/C helicopters such as the new 800-size "Airwolf" model from Roban but, being disabled with Cerebral Palsy & Hydrocephalus (I'm also legally blind in my left eye from the Hydrocephalus) and not being able to work a regular day job will probably knock buying the helicopter out of my thoughts, unfortunately. The fully-loaded chopper including retractable landing gear and side chain guns costs about $3,000.00 from them. I know there are other smaller models but....that one blew me away when I saw it!!

In my spare time when I feel good, I usually spend time finding flight sim forums or anything to do with Airwolf. I have all three seasons on DVD (we hardcore Airwolf fans don't really count the fourth season as worth watching because everything just wasn't as exciting as the original three seasons).

So, along with being a musician as well, flight sim and R/C planes/choppers are what I love to watch fly. I'm glad to be here and I thank you all for having me!!!

Take Care,
Tony Trout

Welcome to SimV, Tony!

Always good to have a fan of The Lady join us; it's a good bunch of folks, with a very wide range of interests and pastimes.

Not sure what FS platform you're using, but if you've got FS9, there's the classic rendition of The Lady, made by Alan Devins and his crew:
