Status: offline 		I'm curious as to how diverse we speed freaks are in aquiring our dough!

Let me start by letting you know what I do.

I turn butt ugly concrete into whatever the owner thinks beautiful is.

I can make plain concrete look like marble, brick, stone, whatever your desire is as long as your check cashes

What do you guy's do for a living?

Is there something that you haven't been?

I might be interested in the Funtana.

I'm a Simulator Technician for Singapore Flying College, which is part of Singapore AIrlines. We have 2 Lear 45 sims that we look after,& the college also has 4 Lear 45's.

Here is some photos of a sim similar to ours, & me flying an A320 sim.

Currently I manage the purchasing department of a large publicly owned Catalog Printer, but not sure that is the career of my future. It pays the bills, but not always rewarding.

Lookin' cool with the shades in the simulator!

I think all of the Rev. Bros. should be allowed @ 2hrs simulator time just in case we need to take over the controls during an emergency on a commercial flight!

Well... could you at least sneak me in?

Status: offline 		2nd Lt. Mods,

I tip my hat to the men and women that serve our country!

If it wasn't for our armed personal like you we would not have this great country called the "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" (Which I am proud to be a citizen of!) to call home!

May God Almighty bless you for your service to our country!

Now that being said is their anymore room left in the back of that 16 for me? Please? Pretty please?

I had a ride in the F111 sim a couple of months ago, & was amazed how neutral that old girl flies, the '16 must be really nice
