Thank you very much to all of your many years wishes. It's a privilege to be a member of the DVA. It's also a nice feeling to know that I have peers. I've started with a Commodore64, followed by AMIGA500 which has a slot beneath it for another 500 raising you to 1MB. Yes, only one megabyte. So, finally in 40 years now we have MSFS2020. Progress is great, but it forces us to be as knowledgeable as a real pilot. This leads the simulation from being an entertainment to being a profession. Each year it forces us to read more and learn more. In our early years, our goal was realizing more landing and taking off. Thanks again.
