An Introduction



Hello everyone! My name is Taylor, and I'm one of the new contributors to Flight Sim Buzz. I'm looking forward to delivering as much news as I can to you about one of our favorite hobbies!

A little about myself: I work as an assembler full time at a local hydraulic factory, and am currently putting the money I earn there towards flying, and flight lessons. I currently hold a Private Pilot Certificate with about 120 flying hours, and have just kicked off my Instrument Rating training.

I currently spend most of my flying time in a Piper Cherokee 180.
Here's a picture my Dad grabbed while taking him for a $100 hamburger.

Exciting changes to Flightsimbuzz

      The flight sim world is continually growing and getting better everyday. It has got to the point that I can no longer continue FSB by myself. About a month ago, I asked if anyone was interested in assisting me with FSB. I had several responses, and at the time was only looking for one person. After some serious consideration, I decided that was not going to work either.
      With that said, I am happy to introduce to the FS world that Taylor, and Lukas have joined the team.  Both of these guys have a huge passion for the FS world, and are as excited to share new information about our hobby with you as I am. 
Over the next week or so, you will be seeing a post from them tell you a little about themselves.


Please give a huge welcome to Taylor and Lukas.


Welcome aboard Guys!

This is (so far perhaps) only for the FS2004 version
