Old Pilot Guy

[Okieflyer]

Hello everyone!

Okieflyer here. I'm a pilot from Oklahoma. Haven't flown much in the last few years, since my divorce. Four kids and THAT'S why I can't afford it. I spent 6 years in the Air Force working on F-4D Phantom II and then the F-16C Falcons.

I found this game and I love simulators and such and this was the best thing I have seen. I really like the ships. Forza is another game I got into because of the cars. So this is a LOT cheaper than real flying.

First game? I hate to admit it, but it was pong. First game I ever bought myself was an Atari 800. Now I started SC and I also play some Elite Dangerous. I imagine I'll get No Man's Sky when it comes out if I hear good things about it.

I decided to join Test because it seems to at least have adults here. ;) Seems...

I'm old so it has to be Capt Kirk.

A friend of mine put up a FB page for Old Guy Gamers. All are welcome.

Welcome old person! Your not the only member who started out on pong (not me, just someone else!)

 

[Okieflyer]

Thank goodness @CosmicTrader ! See now I can say I'm only 52. :D

 

[CrudeSasquatch]

Well, my parents would still call you "that kid", so you're not that old...

 

[Okieflyer]

Ha ha Well, there it is. Thanks for that @CrudeSasquatch

Welcome to TEST! I also did 6 yrs in Uncle Sam's Animal Farm jet engine mechanic on F4Es, F-104s, A7s, A10s, F5s and T38s. Loved it so much I got out, walked into the Coast Guard recruiter, and went to sea for the next 18 years!

 

[Okieflyer]

Very nice @Carlos Spicyweiner . I also went to school on the A-10's but never worked on them. I loved the J79s. Loved to go out to the test cell and trim pad and watch those go!

 

[Blind Owl]

Holy crap, air force and navy and coast guard all over the place. And here I am just a wee little army grunt. Ha.

Welcome to TEST. Glad to have ya with us. 52 ain't that old. It better not be, as it's closer than I'd like. ;)

Cheers mate.

We may be "adults" but that definition is only defined by age, not by how we act. Welcome to TEST!

 

[Bruzdawg]

I knew you were old as soon as you said F4 Phantom ;)
