I never got past the landing and crashing phase of MS Flight Simulator. Perhaps I never had the desire to sit down and actually study everything involved with trying to fly a plane. Perhaps I was just too board with the crappy graphics and hitting F10 to throttle up VS using an actual flight yoke and throttle setup.

It doesn’t help that my father in law is a flight instructor and I flew and airplane for the first time last year.
