You know you're a Flight Sim Fanatic when:

Postby CaptainCub » Mon Mar 24, 2003 4:58 pm

1) You yell, "Clear the prop, CONTACT!" whenever you boot up your computer.
2)You imagine the other vehicles caught in a traffic jam with you as fellow aircraft on a taxiway
3) When accelerating onto the freeway, you find yourself pulling back on the steering wheel hoping your wheels will break ground.
3)You went to see the latest Harry Potter flick with your kids and now your trying to figure out to make a Weasly flying car for MSFS2K2
4)You'd like to do the same thing with Chitty Chitty bang bang.
5)You call turning onto your home street as making a final approach.
6)While on a comnmercial flight you secretly pray for something to happen to the flight crew so you can step forward and save the day.
7) You've flown more bombing runs on bagdad then all the colalition pilots combined.
8)The sight of a new aircraft for FS2k2 sends you into a sexual thrill.
9) After shutting down after a flight session, you push up an imaginary pair of aviators goggles and swing jauntily out of your computer chair.
10)You can pass the standard pilots licence exam without having logged a single hour in a real airplane.

Feel free to add to the list.

You use words like "chocks" and "tallyho" in everyday conversation.
You answer peoples questions with "Wilco" or "Roger".
You jump in your car and announce its time to kick the tyres and light the fires.
You own a white silk scarf, and wear it!
You own all the Biggles books!

I'm guilty of #6.  ;D
Here's one that I actually did.

-When you go on vacation, you spend the better majority of your day watching planes land at the airport. While doing this you blurt out comments such as "I've done a better job than that." Catch is you've nerver flown a real plane in your life.

ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!   LOL  That is a pretty good list.  I have it twice as bad.  One I'm a flight simmer, secondly I'm an Airport Firefighter so I get used to saying Roger, and Wilco.  But that one about wishing something happening to the flight crew so I can save the day....I...well no comment. hehe  and then that one about watching aircraft and commenting on their approaches and comparing them to mine.  yeah! me all the way! Serious about that Private pilots test...I took a practice one, without reading or watching the video...I got 85%.  NOT BAD for only FS2K2 experience!   See ya!

most of the times that I go to Ireland I sit at the back of the plane with the air hostess (I have to when I fly alone). Throughout he whole flight I carefully study the wings to get more experience in fs2k2

Or when the kids want to play another game like NBA, NFL, Bass Masters or Rocky Mt Trophy Hunter, you insist on flying them from your local airport to that destination in FS2002.

This actually makes a good compromise if you have kids around, one computer and a fight over computer gaming time. If they want to hunt Kodiac bear in Alaska then I make them wait until I fly them to Alaska. That way we all get a turn at our favorite game.

I was stuck in a very long (and boaring) slide show when i thought up this one:

While looking at pictures you recignise a location only because you have flown there. Not to mention you can recite the flgiht plan there from your local airport.
