How much IFR time do you have, MX? In the sim? Probably a couple thousand hours. I don't log it.


How much IMC time do you have?


Translation: I have a couple thousand hours playing a game but don't have
the foggiest idea what real IFR flight is like.



Meanwhile, I've killed thousands upon thousands of Germans (Japanese,
Russians, Canadians and even American) playing Battlefield 1942 and Call
of Duty online. What I hate is when some World War II veteran tries to
tell me what it was like storming a beach or charging a machine gun
bunker. They don't have a FRACTION of combat time as I do in my video game.

When I used to play Warbirds I racked up something over 500 career
kills. That's WAY more than Chuck Yeager ever shot down. What the hell
does HE know by comparison?!
