In case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm quite interested in airplanes
(technical term: wingnut). This interest extends to
computerized flight simulators. My first job after college was at a company
called Rediffusion Simulation. I built computer models of aircraft, airfields
and terrain for computer generated visual systems. I later worked on simulated
aircraft avionics on a project called "Glass Cockpit". All of this led to my
designing and building my own cockpit at home to fly PC-based flight simulations.
As if to justify this extension of my childhood, I then built a flight simulator exhibit
for the American Airlines C.R. Smith Museum near D/FW International Airport in Texas.
