I believe most all flight sim pilots attempt at least one around the world adventure in their sim career. I’ve attempted it several times and have completed it just as many. However, I’ll admit my successful attempts were either not very consistent (using multiple types of aircraft) and in each successful attempt, the adventure was…

How cool is your CPU?
Let me start off by saying a BIG Colorado “Thank You” to my Flight Sim Friend, Al. I met Al via his flight sim blog. Al also has a personalblog which I also follow. Prior to meeting Al via his blog and correspondence through email, both Al and I built new PC’s to support our…
Adventure Alaska – KDEN – KSEA -PANC
I recently found a Boeing 737-900 in Alaska Airlines livery and just couldn’t wait to take it for a spin. I found the aircraft on the Project Open Sky site. It is designed for FS9, but a few modifications and she flies like a champ in FSX. The guys at POSKY do awesome work. I…
A Toolbar just for us
As I’ve shared multiple times on this blog, my full-time day job is in IT. While I work for a very BIG company, my day-to-day job role is within an organization of about 500 employees spread out all over the world. I have about 120 located in the same office I’m in and I do…

This might be through forums, message boards, Twitter or even Facebook. By the way, you can now follow me on Twitter. I’ve been using Twitter for a couple of…
My new hardware
In my IT career, hardware has always been my strong point. I learned most of what I know about hardware by taking old PC’s, taking them apart and putting them back together again. I’ve always subscribed to the philosphy that software is only as good as the hardware it is running on. This philosphy is…
Rock you like a Hurricane
I decided today would be a good day to head out of Martha’s Vineyard. Hurricane Earl (currently a CAT 2 storm) was churning his way up the East Coast of the US through North Carolina’s Outer Banks. The leading cloud cover ahead of the eye had already made its way up into New England. The…
A little R&R in Martha’s Vineyard
I had flown into KFJK a few days ago. Since I like to keep my flight simulator adventures in somewhat of an orderly fashion (meaning I tend to fly from airport to airport and don’t jump around alot) I decided I wanted to practice my VFR techniques. Since I only had a short amount of…
Hello Fellow Flight Simulator Enthuasists
OK…where to start? Oh I know…let me tell you about myself. My name is Jerry, I live in Denver, Colorado. I’m less than 5 miles from KAPA and about 20 miles from KDEN. I’m married to a wonderful woman who supports all my various hobbies. Before moving to Denver in 1998, I lived in Dallas,…
