You know how sometimes you regret your decisions......LOL 
Funny cuz here i am all those years later and still have the love of flying PC Sims and still fascinated in combat aircraft, going to Duxford again next week in fact!   .....so i guess that wanting to fly was a real love of mine back then and not just something i wanted to do as a 'boy' cuz it was cool
funny how things work out, but every time i watch videos like that and 'OK' War isnt cool and all that but I get so jealous of them pilots doing that..has to be the best job in the world and one that i could actualy say and believe i would do it for free...well maybe just enough money to eat n drink..

Ever since i was a kid Saturday monrings while other kids watched cartoons I use to watch "the world at war" A show that played WW2 airbattles And i was hooked
Later after joining and in school I met a retired RAF digby pilot that flew a Spitfire VB variant, He told me The Aircraft have changed over the years But it's still the same up there nothing has changed. Remember if you think your going to mess up your going to mess up. Stay loose fly right ..His own worry was checking 6 when attacking someone
I never had that worry thank god
I still love to fly. However having a bad back due to a car crash I'm grounded I can only drive a car for about 1 hour before the pain and twitches start up
So when i do have the time i load up CLOD (which by the way is harder to fly : ) but starting to meet great people on a shared love
