Well I hope you get to do some flying soon.

I just have to say how refreshing it was to see
your "I love this job" entry. I think it admirable that you consider your Blessings for
what they are, and are thankfull for them.

Re; The newest FS fan..how old is she? Never
too young, eh?

I had one of my greatest blessings...my four
year old granddaughter..seated on my knee a couple of weeks ago, as I was checking out the
FS related sites. She asked to watch a movie.

Now as I don't have any movies on my laptop I
did the next best thing and played an FS video.

I chose one made by Nick Albion featuring the
FSDZigns excellent LO49 Connie. The video has
some very beautiful, and haunting music in the
background, celtic I think. Anyway, she was
glued to the screen for the duration of the
video, saying things like...that sure is a pretty airplane, grandpa. She's quite the little gear head.LOL

As the video finished she turned and looked up at me and said "Grandpa", with kind of a
questioning tone in her voice. Expecting a
question about the Connie or video, I said
"What is it Sweetheart"?

She replied in a very soft small voice..."I
don't want you to die!"

I hugged her very tightly as I choked back the tears...and I felt very Blessed indeed.

Good luck to you, you seem a fine young man
with his head screwed on straight.

And thanks for sharing with us.

God Bless
Denny

Looking forward to some more cool shots on your insider site - especially for those of us on the other side of the Pacific who cannot make it to E3. Hopefully we'll see previews of some of the new aircraft interiors.

Denny, that is a wonderful comment and very appreciated!

I am paranoid about giving out details about my child as there are so many stories about freaks preying on kids through the internet. Mine is very young and doesn't really know what the internet is yet, so there probably isn't much to worry about, but I'll still probably be over protective anyway.

We recently went through a period of discussing death a lot. We had a great grandmother pass away, a dear dog, and then a horse, so the cycle of life was a topic that kept coming back over and over again. Tough lessens life throws at you sometimes.

Thank you again for your kind words.

Robruce, where are you from on the other side of the Pacific?

As for the interiors, I have recently been congratulating the aircraft team on how awesome the panels and VC's look, but it's unlikely you will see them very soon as there is still a lot of work to be done on them.

I look forward to eventually seeing the new cockpits - someday - especially if they parallel the developments in scenery and the new external aircraft models.

Well doctor, I see a...
