Clearly the result of learning to fly from a Microsoft manual.

A sad reflection of the life of a social misfit. I found the Oct 22
"Why We Sim" entry especially revealing. A snippet...
"Then there is the need to travel. See, real airplanes leave one
airport and land at another (usually). Meaning that when you finish a
flight, you're in a different place. I don't like being in a different
place. I can't stand to travel. I want to start and finish in my
apartment. That cannot happen in real life. Even if you just go out
for pattern work, you still have to travel to and from the airport.
There are no general-aviation airports within easy reach of public
transport where I live, and I don't have a car. And what if I don't
want to do pattern work? And what if I want to fly from somewhere
else, somewhere other than the handful of nearby general-aviation
fields? Can't be done in real life.
However, in simulation, I can start from any airport, finish at any
airport, and never even leave home. No need to go outside, no need to
commute for hours, no need for hotels or rental cars. If I want to fly
from Los Angeles to Seattle, I can. In real life, though, I'm
thousands of miles from both cities; I'd have to fly as a passenger
all day just to get to one of them, and all day again to get back
home. There's just no comparison."
And he has lots of followers. "0" to be exact. Anthony is still
waiting for someone -- anyone -- to "Be the first to follow this
blog".
